Hello~
Can someone assist me, patient came in 10 days after a Tonsillectomy with
Preoperative Diagnosis: Retianed Eschat Left Tonsil Fossa
Surgical Procedure: Ponticaine 2% topical spray applied to posterior pharynx. Sunctioned right and left tonsil fossa and no bleeding encounter.
Now I understand this probablu will fall under the post operative period, but I still need to code this office surgery.
Anyone know a code or is this consider just a office visit and not a surgical procedure as the doctor scheduled.
Thanks all who assists me.
