Coding notes · WHO

Codes in this category are intended for use to indicate a reason for care when no specific diagnosis has been documented. They may be used for patients who have already been treated for a disease or injury, but who are receiving follow-up or prophylactic care, convalescent care, or care to consolidate the treatment, to deal with residual states, to ensure that the condition has not recurred, or to prevent recurrence.
