Do you use a preoperative diagnosis or postoperative diagnosis?
In medical practice, both preoperative and postoperative diagnoses are important but serve different purposes. The preoperative diagnosis is made before surgery based on clinical evaluations and imaging, guiding surgical planning. In contrast, the postoperative diagnosis is established after the procedure, often confirmed through histopathological examination, and it provides definitive information about the condition treated. Both diagnoses are essential for patient management and follow-up care.

What is medical billing code 998?
Diagnosis code 998 is for other complications of procedures, not elsewhere classified. It excludes fluid overload due to blood transfusion, or TACO (transfusion associated circulatory overload). Code 998.0 is for postoperative shock which happened either during or resulting from a surgical procedure, but it excludes shock: anaphylactic due to serum; anesthetic; electric; following abortion; obstetric or traumatic. Code 998.00 is used for postoperative shock, unspecified, such as collapse, not otherwise specified, during or resulting from a surgical procedure or failure of peripheral circulation, postoperative. Diagnosis code 998 isn't a complete code...it must have 4 digits for more specificity. You can have 998.0 all the way to 998.9, but for most of those categories, you must choose a 5th digit. For example under category 998 I chose 998.5 which is for Postoperative Infection. Under that title, I chose 998.59 which is for "other postoperative infection".

Do you code preoperative or postoperative diagnoses?
Preoperative diagnoses are coded to reflect the patient's condition before surgery, while postoperative diagnoses are coded to capture the patient's condition after the procedure. Both diagnoses are essential for accurate medical records, billing, and understanding treatment outcomes. The coding process typically follows specific guidelines to ensure compliance and proper reimbursement. Ultimately, the choice of which diagnosis to code depends on the context and timing of the patient's evaluation.
