Resolved Coding scenario

Status
Not open for further replies.
Coding question (outpatient )- if you had a diagnosis of post op wound , and the only think you have to work w/ as far as specificity is that in the exam portion of the note, it says that it a skin wound and in this scenario you couldn’t query b/c how old the record is - what dx code would you choose? I’m thinking based on the direction of index :
 
Perhaps Z48.817
Encounter for surgical aftercare following surgery on the skin and subcutaneous tissue
