Hi,
have a question regarding a DX and a procedure...
first post op DX is Inflammation at the gastrojejunal anastomosis, what icd 9 code would someone recommend?
also under the procedure itself it reads ...there was exudate, erythema and edema sround two metal sutures at the gastrojejunal anastomosis. Three biopsies were obtained and one suture was removed. My question is I know obviously to bill for the biopsy code but would I bill the foreign body removal as welll? we have a few mixed opinions here.
thanks in advance!
