When seeing a patient in office for pre-op visit for permanant sterilization procedure is it appropriate to use the V25.2 code or is this code only used on the surgical date? If it's not acceptable to use then what code would I use to show why patient is have pre-op visit?
 
If the decision for surgery has already been made then the preop is part of the surgical global, you can use a pre op dx code V72.8x However the visit should be denied as part of global.
