== Subdiagnosis code required ==
[[Category:ICD10 Diagnosis]]
Trauma diagnosis codes must have subcodes entered.
see [[Check Trauma codes without subcodes]]
 
== Post-op ==
*A trauma code with '''Post OP''' means '''surgery was done''' for the specific organ injured that it is coded with. It does not mean that patient is merely post op. 
*A trauma code with '''Non Post OP''' means '''no surgery done''' for the specific organ that is injured that it is coded with.
 
Example: Trauma: SAH-head, leg fracture, abdomen uncomplicated. 
Went to OR to fix leg frature and nothing else. 
Coding would be as follows:
# 651-1  # /amp & vascular – post op
# 647-1 SAH '''NON post op'''
# 625-1 ADB uncomplicated – '''NON post op'''
