- spinal laminectomy combine this code with (T) Peripheral Nerves, NOS
- For Brain decompression secondary to a SDH or SAH code both the decompression of the brain- (T) Brain and Release, Decompression and also code evacuation of hemorrhage eg. SDH or SAH combine with (T) Brain's Meninges, Dura, Subarachnoid, Ventricles and Drainage, Evacuation. This is applicable for both craniotomy or craniectomy.
- craniectomy - Removal of a piece of the skull to relieve pressure in the skull, after a craniectomy, the bone fragment is not immediately put back into place, combine with (T) Brain if the intent is to replace the skull bone at a later date see (T) Cranial Bones
Collecting "CCI collect each" items
- "CCI collect each" items are entered each time they happen
- Px Date
- if an Acquired Procedure, enter the Px Date for each day that they happen
- if an Admit Procedure leave the date blank
- Px Count
- if they happen more than once on a day, enter the number of times for that day, otherwise enter a Px Count of 1
Px Date for patients who move
See Px Date#Moves== Alternate CCIs to consider coding instead or in addition ==
Related ICD10 Codes
(enter links to ICD10 codes that would likely go with this CCI procedure, but only in case of close relation, ie not every dx that might require this procedure)
