Hi,
I'm a little confused for coding active care for surgical treatment in ICD 10. If a patient is in the post op period would that still be considered active care as pertaining to the surgical treatment or would I code it as subsequent because the patient had the surgery and is now in the recovery/healing phase.
Any input would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance!
