Look in the Alphabetic Index under Aftercare, or Attention to: or code Section. I reviewed the V codes and found one code that you can probably use. "Other specified conditions influencing Health Status V49.89. Other specified (in your case GI Bleed) Keep in mind you will not find a specific code for each and every condition. Or check check out 58.89 Other specific aftercare. Hope this helps. I am not sure of a web site specific to V codes,

Does any one have a v-code for after care of a G/I bleed? Is there a web site that list v-codes? We are having a hard time finding them in the coding book.
