We would like to express
our thanks
to the very attentive coders
at St. Luke's Regional Medical Center in Sioux City, IA,
for pointing out an Ooops! to us.
In this month's Coding
Recommendations for the
Real Operative Report, we had made a type-o on one of the
codes and ended up with the correct code description, but
an incorrect numerical code:
The code narrative "Bypass
graft, with vein, femorial-anterior tibial, posterior tibial,
peroneal artery or other distal vessel" does not
describe code 35571, as we had published, but rather code
35566, which is indeed our suggestion for corrrect code
assignment.
Once again: our thanks to you
coders at St. Luke's for pointing the error out to us! Your
feedback is very much appreciated.
