Subdiagnosis code required

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
