A patient had a lap sigmoidectomy on 2-4-2011 for perforated diverticula. On 3-9-2011 one of our general surgeons saw the patient in the hospital for a consult because the patient was having abd pain. The dr states in the dictation that postoperatively she is doing well, having regular bowel movements, denied any blood or dark colored bowel. His assessment at the end of his consult is suspected colities, possible stenosis.
Can I put an inpt consult code with mod 24????
Thanks for any help.
