Additional Info
Post-procedural pain
This generally excludes post-operative or post-procedural pain. That is a normal part of the surgical process, so in general it is not necessary to code it separately -- UNLESS it is somehow extraordinary and extraordinary means are needed to deal with it, or it prolongs the hospitalization. Even use of PCA pumps is not unusual after some operations, so those things, by themselves, do not need specific coding, again, unless it meets one of the two criteria above is met. And when one of those IS the case, use Pain, acute NOS for this type of pain.
