aftercare surgery

We have a SHP alert that has informed our auditor that I should use a different code for aftercare of craniotomy for a benign meningioma excision.
I used Z48.3 aftercare neoplasm. What should I use instead, or do I need to change it?
Any advice would be appreciated.

    Those SHP reports are rarely lead to anything that really needs adjusting, in my experience. Z48.3 would be appropriate, followed by Z48.812
