pt came in for pre-op exam for cataracts Physician coded it as

99244
V72.84
366.9

Should he have used v72.83 instead of V72.84?

V72.83 states: Other specified pre-op exam

V72.84 states: Pre-op examination, unspecified

We have always used V72.83 are we coding our pre-op's wrong

Thanks
 
kimb - we always use the V72.83 also ... (I wonder how much difference it really makes though)
