Hi,
My question is for a post-op visit. Can we use the Z09for all post-op visits? It has excludes 1 note after it... it says it does not include aftercare following medical care. It points you to Z43- Z49 and Z51.We are a pain management and orthopedic office. Then you also have Z47.89 encounter for other orthopedic aftercare
Z48.89 encounter for other specified surgical aftercare.
Could you please guide us in the right direction here as to what could we use for post-op visits.
Thanks
Chrysel
