Ok I need opinions from everyone. I do anesthesia coding and we had an issue come up. OP report states a hysterectomy abdominal approach. The CRNA wants the vaginal approach coded (00944) instead of abdominal (00840) because they are both the same units and I am coding for accuracy and using 00944 is not a compliance issue. What are your thoughts?
