Hi,
If we are seeing a patient back from being hospitalized for diverticulitis. She has completed her antibiotics and still not feeling that good. A CT scan is being ordered.
Do I code a aftercare code first, followed by 562.11 or what.
Would this differ from if a patient is seen for follow up hemothorax and is doing well.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
