I have a 4 year old that came in to the Urology office and is already circumsized that had a lysis of penile adhesions. The dictation states that they developed. That is why I am not sure if I should use a congenital anomaly code. Can anyone help? THANK YOU!
 
What CPT code

We perfom this same procedure code 54450 states that this if for uncircumsized can we use this also on a circumsized child? And is this documented somewhere so I can show it to our doctors?

Thank You

Penile abrasions following circumcision

What about 998.89 complication following a procedure not otherwise classified- other specified complication ? A child came through our ER with penile adhesions following a circumcision. I'm comfortable with that code.

Thanks,
