Help!!
I have been coding V45.89 for post operative since day 1, today a coworker advised the description says other post procedural status, other, presence of neuropacemaker or other electronic devices. I have been using if the physician advises patient had a recent procedure, status post, postoperative (within the global period). I was told by an auditor this is a correct code to use. Please advise.
Thank you,
