Patient had surgery in February and is seeing my physician (my doc did not perform the surgery) but the patient is having problems since the surgery. How di I tell if I chose a code from Aftercare or Complication of surgery?

the physician needs to link the current problem to the surgery to code it as a surgical complication.
