The post Post tetsing appeared first on AAPC Knowledge Center.
The diagnosis I have been coming across is Z96.89, but I am not sure that is correct.
TIA
KM
Patient came back to our clinic 27 days after hospitalization, initial dx of NSTEMI.
Doctor had dx CAD.
Coder came back saying that she will be coding it still as NSTEMI and complaining why the doctor never mentioned it is still NSTEMI.
She also said that if patient has angina, she would need to code it as post infarction angina.
Doctor had explained that medically post infarction angina is a rare occurrence in 10-15% of cases.
I felt like CAD w stable angina I25.118 as documented is more appropriate.
The doctor has felt that CAD would include the new mild arterial diseases and the old MI.
Is CAD appropriate to code?
Thanks for helping us learn something new every day.
Thanks

I was wondering if anyone could offer any guidance please. I have a Dr. that did 2 debridements on a pt that is in house.
On their rounding days they are applying a would vac/Negative pressure therapy. I was under the impression that this
would get bundled into the 90 day global. I know that the Hospital (PT Department) can charge for it but the Dr. is wanting
to charge for it. Any feed back would be greatly appreciated!
Does anyone happen to have the a link to the AMA Pre, Intra, Post Service times for procedures and EM services?
I know that this is put out by the AMA RUC Committee and is used by CMS for RBRVS, but cannot find the actual document that contains these times.
I have tried to email the AMA but have had no luck.
If anyone happens to have this information it would be very much appreciated!
