I have a patient who is 6 yr old. Seen in the ER for injury from a falling on diving board.
The injury needed to repair of a vulvar and perineal laceration.
Unable to exam unless under general anesthesia . Do I code for the exam under
anesthesia or do I just code for the repair. Also do I need to indicate the age of the patient?
Thanks,
Dee
