I had a patient that had a bartholins cyst removed, we are billing the post op visit and I normally would bill that
prepaid OV - no charge
V58.49 dx
I also noticed V58.76 - Aftercare following surgery of the genitourinary system, NEC- Conditions classifiable to 580-629However the notes is what's got me stummped:
Note: Codes from this subcategory should be used in conjunction with other aftercare codes to fully identify the reason for the aftercare encounter
Excludes: aftercare following organ transplant (V58.44), aftercare following surgery for neoplasm (V58.42)
Would I then code V58.76 and 616.2? What other aftercare codes are they referring to? I am guessing it means to bill V58.49 and V58.76 to specify the site of surgery. Although V58.49 can be billed alone. Can someone please help as I searched all over for this and came up with nothing but what the ICD-9-CM states.
