I am stumped....
Patient is presenting for aftercare therapy following a laceration (injury) that was sutured, but the stitches have already been removed.... patient now has stiffness in the area that is being treated...
So would the V-code for the aftercare be V58.89 - other specified aftercare, or can you use V58.43 - aftercare following surgery for injury and trauma??
Sutures are not considered a surgical procedure, right??
