I have to do education on the uses of
Z98.61 coronary angioplasty status. vs
Z95.5 presence of coronary angioplasty implant and graft

Does anyone have any experience with these? Resources?

Thanks :)
 
Looking at the headings alone

Z98 Other postprocedural states

Z95 Presence of cardiac and vascular implants and grafts

I interpret Z98 as patient is being monitored post surgery and Z95 is more like history of where the fact they have the implant influences the treatment of other medical conditions
