Coding tip needed

How would you code aftercare for shunt placement due to hydrocephalus?
Thanks!

  • Hi Reyhan.
    Here's a hint: look up the code for the condition hydrocephalus (non-congenital). That is the system chapter for which the AC code will reflect!
    Hydrocephalus=G91. G-codes are neuro codes.
    Your aftercare code is AC nervous system!
