I know this probably sounds like a silly question. However, I am wondering if a patient has an anterior cruciate ligament tear and then has surgery how do you code the after surgery visits? With the tear code or ???

Thanks
 
it depends on if you are coding it as an injury with anS code or an non injury disruption with the M code. The injury codes are used for postop care with the 7th character D. While non injury post op is coded with Z codes for aftercare.
