• Px Date
  • if an Acquired Procedure, enter them with the Px Date of the first time they happen
  • if an Admit Procedure leave the date blank and just enter the procedure
• Px Count is always 1 for this collection mode

Alternate CCIs to consider coding instead or in addition

• Excision, Resection, total
• Excision, Resection, radical

• Excision with Reconstruction, Replacement
• Amputation
