Wiki Coding Post Op

[LLRodgers]

Hello,

can anyone tell me when coding POST OP in Global Period can you just code Z98.890 with a 99024 or do you need to have a diagnosis code added to go with the Z98.890 and 99024?

Thank you,
LLR

You would not need an additional diagnosis code. Since this question is being asked in orthopedics, I can tell you that the diagnosis code for treatment after an orthopedic surgical procedure is Z47.89
