I checked
with our Medicare records person & she said she is unaware of a V code for
after care of GI bleed. However, she usually coded the GI bleed itself as
when they come back from the hospital we are monitoring for further signs of
this. Hope this helps.

This obviously has been my day for unsolvable problems. I need an icd 9
code for "dementia with psychotic/agitated features". Can't find that
particular combination anywhere in my icd 9 books.
Thanks again for all your help.
