I am trying to find definitive documentation re: using pre-op vs post-op diagnosis codes on anesthesia services.

If you have this information, a link to it, etc. I would much appreciate it!

Thanks so much!
 
Diagnosis pre-op vs post-op

You should code for the pre-op diagnosis as this is most accurate. If I find a quoted reference I'll send it along. It may be in "The Anesthesia answer book"
