Wiki Not sure of correct dx code

[Kimberley]

Order is for x-ray skull 2 views, t-spine 2 views, c-spine x views and l-spine 2 views. The only clinical is POSTSURGICAL IMPLANT NERVE STIMULATOR. All x-rays are normal.

V67.59 or V67.09

Thanks so much

What about V45.89

 

[Kimberley]

I was thinking that also, but that dx code can't be used as a primary.

OH...Ok...I do see that now....

 

[maysons1703]

When was the surgery performed? Is he still in his global period? If so, look at v58.7X.

 

[Kimberley]

No idea when the surgery was performed.....nothing noted on health history form.
