I have a pt who had her spinal cord stimulator removed due to open wound/exposure and possible infection. Pt also is currently on Vancomycin for MRSA due to knee replacement infection. I coded 996.63 for the complication, but now do I use 041.12 being that the pt is under tx for her MRSA? Physican lists Diagnosis: Open wound/exposure of spinal cord stimulator battery.

Thank you
Paula
