Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The code for post-operative hemorrhage is 998.11 and the code for acute blood-loss anemia is 285.1. Therefore, the correct combination is C, which includes both codes. Code 997.72 is for surgical complications, not specifically hemorrhage, and code 999.1 is for other/unspecified complications of medical care, which is not the primary issue in this scenario. Code 998.11 is the only code that specifically addresses the hemorrhage, which is the primary issue in this scenario.
