What code would best describe "Pre-op Meds" ?
example: Patient came in today for meds as directed by provider, meds need to be taken a week before surgery and throughout recovery (knee surgery). And this is how it was coded with V45.89, is this ok to use for this situation? or is there a more appropriate code?
please help
