Hello,
I am currently going to school to be a coder and biller. On my lastest exam I have a question that is " A patient with servere arteriosclerotic heart disease of native arteries and servere COPD was admitted for coronary artery bypass graft X 4 with cardiopulmonary bypass. Postoperatively, the patient developed pulmonary emboli that required treatment and extened the inpatient stay. Code this with POA indicator."
So far I have 414.01-Y for the ASHD and 496-Y for COPD. I have looked everywhere in my ICD-9 book and I can't seem to find a code for CABG. Can someone please tell my if I am coding this correctly and how to code CABG?
Thank you!
