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:

  1. 651-1 # /amp & vascular – post op
  2. 647-1 SAH NON post op
  3. 625-1 ADB uncomplicated – NON post op

Unknown Causes

Template:Discussion There are often patients admitted with trauma which has not had the cause identified. Could an 'unknown' cause be given for all traumas listed above the burn section?--Jpeterson 13:42, 2013 June 19 (EDT)
