-== 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'''
-== Unknown Causes==
-{{discussion}}
