Status Post Carpal Tunnel

If a patient has Carpal Tunnel Release 3/18/15 and comes in for a follow up on 5/4/15

Diagnosis: Status post carpal tunnel release with some mild soft tissue swelling and ulnar bursitis starting to cause some early triggering of ring finger.

The soft tissue swelling could be from the surgery. However, the ulnar bursitis and the triggering I am not sure of.

Would I code the ulnar bursits and triggering with an E/M code and then code a V45.89 - status post with a 99024?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Linda
