Total Hip Arthroplasty done on 02/17/2015 the patient comes in for a follow up and the diagnosis is: Status post total hip arthroplasty with heterotopic ossification.
Since this is out of the Global Period would I just code the Follow up - Z09, Z96.641 - R Hip with an E/M Code or is heterotopic ossification considered a complication?
Thinking of coding it like this?
Q65.89 - Heterotopic Ossification
Z09 - Follow up
Z96.641 - R Hip
E/M Code
Any help is appreciated!
Thank you,
LLR
