Wiki Perineal Revision

[cargo]

Pt had a vaginal delivery 5/12. At postpartum visit MD notes that perineum has healed w/posterior labial agglutination causing pain...

On 7/8, MD performs perineal revision, incising scarred perineal tissue & enlarging vaginal opening.

CPT? 56810 is nonobstetrical?

you are with the right code 56810. It is non obstetrical now as on date , having passed the puerperium of 42 days.

What if it is at 7 weeks, post partum visit. Can this be billed?

Yes, you can with this code. This code denotes any time after 42 days of delivery
