Our provider did a circumcision on a 4 mo old patient at the recommendation of the urologist after an episode of urosepsis. Z41.2 would not be an appropriate dx code in this case, but I am having difficulty figuring out what code(s) should be used.
Someone suggested Z40.8 (Encounter for other prophylactic surgery) - would I also use the code for history of urosepsis? (I was thinking Z87.440)
As always, your expertise is greatly appreciated!
