Patient comes in complaining of history of gun shot to chest and states a bullet is still on artery is causing pain in his chest. He was shot about a year ago.
Dr orders x-ray and pain medication
Dr wants to code it as a post op. I say to code as chest pain with a history code of gun shot, but I cannot find a code for that. What would you do?
