Wiki ICD 10 code for Wound Check ~Status Post C-Section

[Oring0003@gmail.com]

If the wound check is done 6 days after delivery, wouldn't it be part of the global period for the c-section? Or can we still bill a 99212 with dx Z48.89?

A C-section wound check is absolutely included in the global.

Given the c-section wound check is included in the global period, would the visit be documented with CPT 99024 for a postoperative visit or a 0503F since the patient is in the postpartum global period?
