Px performed on the wrong side of the body
Hi,
An MD performed a Px on the wrong side of the body , realized it when the patient was in the recovery room, and with the patient's consent, took the patient back to the OR to perform the Px on the correct side of the body.
1. Would only the intended Px be coded?
2. Is anything coded to document the error?
Please include rationale or references.
Thanks!!
