Question

I need help with this question.

Examination OF: Right hip:
Diagnosis: Primary unilateral osteoarthritis right hip.
ONE-VIEW Right Hip: A single frontal view is obtained of the right hip. No previous studies are available for comparison. Right hip arthroplasty is seen. Alignment appears grossly unremarkable on this single view. There are skin staples present. Air is seen in the soft tissues, likely due to recent surgery. There appear to be two drains present. The tip of one overlies the soft tissues superolateral to the greater trochanter. The second one is more inferior. The tip overlies the right proximal femoral prosthesis.

IMPRESSION: Single view of the right hip with findings consistent with recent right total hip arthroplasty. I have 73501 for the CPT code and M16.11 for one of the ICD-10-CM code I'm looking for the other ICD-10-CM code

Answer 1

Answer: Hello, you can use the following codes:

ICD-10 M169: coxarthrosis unspecified or ICD-10 Z998: other specified postsurgical states

Explanation: if you want to refer to the disease use the first code, if you want to refer to the current state of the patient the second code explains the procedure to which he was subjected.
