Question how long is it acceptable to use postpartum code?
Ex. Code submitted
648.14 Postpartum thyroid dysfunction
This is for a regular general practice office visit. However the notes specify 4months postpartum with thyroid tenderness and nodule. Refer to endocrinologist.
The note also states patient has history postpartum thyroid problem with the first child as well. And was seeing an endoccrinologist.
I was thinking more on using Hx V12.2 Or 246.9 unspecified disorder of thyriod.
