Good Morning, My question is regarding the 7th digit being used in the injury section of the ICD-10-CM book. A patient is being seen for surgery for acute acl tear, would the ASC put the 7th character as an A for initial encounter (only time seen at ASC) or D subsequent encounter as the physican doing the surgery has seen the patient in their office.
We are doing some practicing in our facility and would appreciate any imput.
Thanks,
Gail Steeves, CPC
