I just started coding for a very huge hospital in California and I'm not too familiar with all the procedures they want me to pick up. At my old hospital a lot of this stuff was "hard coded" meaning the nurses would make it off on the charge sheet and someone in another department would verify it. The only problem I'm having is Septic Shock patients who are given pressor support. I am being told I need to pic these procedures up and then I was told two different codes 89.67 and 00.17. Can someone please explain this to me and give me a little more information ?
Thanks
