When coding for postoperative ileus, the index leads me to 997.4, which falls under Digestive System Complications. Do I also need 560.1 paralytic ileus as a second code to describe the condition, or do I follow the specific guidance of index and use only 997.4 (plus applicable E code)? Thanks.
 
Thank you! I knew there should be a note there somewhere and I just wasn't seeing it!
