Hello -

When coding a physcial/occupational therapy consult for a patient that is status post (for example) shoulder surgery -

what would the correct primary diagnosis be?

any guidance will help:D:D
 
Well, based on the limited information in your question, if they are being evaluated for therapy of the body part on which surgery was performed, I would imagine it would be the injury/reason for the surgery.
 
I see this being billed with the V code for post surgical. I work with workers comp. and we see alot of OT PT. Hope this helps.
