Similar to ICD-9-CM, multiple gestations are classified in ICD-10-CM: Codes from this category also require either a fifth or sixth character specifying the trimester. Code O30.0, Twin pregnancy, is further classified by whether the twin pregnancy is monoamniotic/monochorionic, conjoined twins, other twin pregnancy, or unspecified twin pregnancy.
Obstetric cases require diagnosis codes from chapter 15 of ICD-10-CM, “Pregnancy, Childbirth, and the Puerperium.” It includes categories O00–O9A arranged in the following blocks: O10–O16, Edema, proteinuria, and hypertensive disorders in pregnancy, childbirth, and the puerperium O20–O29, Other maternal disorders predominantly related to pregnancy

Hemorrhage in early pregnancy (Code range- O20.0-O20.9)- Includes hemorrhage before completion of 20 weeks of gestation. Threatened abortion (O2.0)- Vaginal bleeding before completion of 20 weeks of pregnancy indicating a possible miscarriage.
Z3A.12ICD-10 Code for 12 weeks gestation of pregnancy- Z3A. 12- Codify by AAPC.
One of the most severe complications is a pulmonary embolism, a condition where a blood clot blocks an artery in the lung. Pulmonary embolisms (PE) typically occur during or shortly after the labor and delivery, and may be fatal for the mother if not treated immediately.
ICD-10 code I26. 9 for Pulmonary embolism without acute cor pulmonale is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .
O08. 2 - Embolism following ectopic and molar pregnancy. ICD-10-CM.
The mainstay of treatment for pulmonary thromboembolism in pregnancy is anticoagulation with low molecular weight heparin for a minimum of 3 months in total duration and until at least 6 weeks postnatal. Low molecular weight heparin is safe, effective and has a low associated bleeding risk.
Both computed tomography pulmonary angiography and lung scintigraphy appear appropriate for excluding pulmonary embolism in pregnancy.

The small risks of these scans have to be weighed up against the risk to both mother and baby of an undiagnosed and untreated pulmonary embolus. This is a potentially life threatening condition – the risk of dying from an untreated PE is 15-30%.

Although a DVT can occur without any symptoms, the following are the most common signs and symptoms of a DVT: Swelling of the affected limb. Pain or tenderness not caused by injury. Skin that is warm to the touch, red, or discolored.
Pulmonary embolism occurs when a clump of material, most often a blood clot, gets wedged into an artery in your lungs. These blood clots most commonly come from the deep veins of your legs, a condition known as deep vein thrombosis (DVT). In many cases, multiple clots are involved in pulmonary embolism.
Coding for Obstetrics in ICD-10-CM/PCS
ICD-10-PCS Code Range for Pregnancy, Obstetrics. ICD-10-PCS Code Range for Pregnancy, Obstetrics is medical classification list by Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
I have been working on an e-learning program for ICD-10-PCS, which allowed me to review coding conventions and guidelines for Section 1 – Obstetrics.
New and Revised ICD-10-CM Obstetric Guidelines. By Ann Barta, MSA, RHIA, CDIP. When comparing the ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM obstetric guidelines, coding professionals should note both revised and completely new guidelines in ICD-10-CM.
Obstetric Coding in ICD-10-CM/PCS. By Ann Barta, MSA, RHIA. ICD-10-CM/PCS will capture a greater level of specificity for obstetric coding. This article highlights some of the new features in coding obstetric cases with ICD-10-CM/PCS.
Obstetrics Coding and Documentation Reference Guide CPT Coding CPT defines maternity-related services as: 59400 Routine obstetric care including antepartum care, vaginal delivery (with or without episiotomy, and/or forceps) and postpartum care 59409 Vaginal delivery only (with or without episiotomy and/or forceps); 59410 Vaginal delivery only (with or without episiotomy and/or forceps ...
The Pregnancy ICD 10 code belong to the Chapter 15 – Pregnancy, Childbirth, and the Puerperium of the ICD-10-CM and these codes take sequencing priority over all the other chapter codes.
Complications following (induced) termination of pregnancy (Code range- O04.5 – O04.89) – This includes the complications followed by abortions that are induced intentionally.
The chapter 15- Pregnancy, Childbirth, and the Puerperium codes can be used only to code the maternal records and never the newborn records.
Pre-existing hypertension complicating pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (Code range- O10.011-O10.93) – A pregnancy complication arising due to the patient being hypertensive, having proteinuria (increased levels of protein in urine), hypertensive heart disease, hypertensive CKD or both prior to the pregnancy.
Ectopic pregnancy (Code range- O00.00 – O00.91) – This is a potentially life-threatening condition in which the fertilize egg is implanted outside the uterus, usually in one of the fallopian tubes or occasionally in the abdomen or ovaries.
If the provider has documented that the pregnancy is incidental to the visit, which means that the reason for the visit was not pregnancy related and the provider did not care for the pregnancy, the code to be used is Z33.1, Pregnant state, incidental and not the chapter 15 codes.
If a patient is admitted to the hospital due to pregnancy complications during one trimester and is discharged when she is in the subsequent trimester, the trimester during which the complication developed or when the patient was admitted should be considered while coding. The same rule applies to any pre-existing condition also.
Codes from this category also require either a fifth or sixth character specifying the trimester. Code O30.0, Twin pregnancy, is further classified by whether the twin pregnancy is monoamniotic/monochorionic, conjoined twins, other twin pregnancy, or unspecified twin pregnancy.
If a delivery occurs during an admission and there is an “in childbirth” option for the obstetric complication being coded, the “in childbirth” code should be assigned. If the complication occurs after delivery , the “in puerperium” code should be assigned if available.
Obstetric cases require diagnosis codes from chapter 15 of ICD-10-CM, “Pregnancy, Childbirth, and the Puerperium.” It includes categories O00–O9A arranged in the following blocks:
Because certain obstetric conditions or complications occur during certain trimesters, not all conditions include codes for all three trimesters.
The assignment of the final character for trimester is based on the trimester for the current admission or encounter. This guideline applies to the assignment of trimester for pre-existing conditions as well as those that develop during or are due to the pregnancy.
Similar to ICD-9-CM, ICD-10-CM obstetric codes in chapter 15 have sequencing priority over codes from other chapters. Additional codes from other chapters may be used in addition to chapter 15 codes to further specify conditions.
They are defined as follows: First trimester: less than 14 weeks 0 days. Second trimester: 14 weeks 0 days to less than 28 weeks 0 days. Third trimester: 28 weeks 0 days until delivery.
I just have to vent. I'm taking classes for medical billing and coding. Right now I'm learning how to code from the CPT manual. I hate it so much. We do these case studies where they make up fake scenarios like your coding from a real report. The most annoying thing for me I guess is locating the main term in the index.
So, my course just threw in CPT codes like I'm supposed to know what those are. And I am... so confused by the whole thing. Are CPT codes supposed to be added to every SOAP case? Like will I have to do the medical coding AND CPT on every order? If so, I'm very scared. Because I have no idea what I'm doing now.
Coding is a second career for me. I really enjoy it and am thankful to be working in this profession. I have the RHIA and CCS credentials and do outpatient coding for a healthcare system - mainly surgeries and caths/vascular interventions.
For medical billing and coding schooling, is it hard? what do you all learn in school? I heard there’s a lot of hard math to study and lots of codes?? how tough is it? how’s the job overall? hard? Easy?
My team develop an artificial intelligence powered encoder. The Encoder finds the right code for you based on the text you provide. It also have index and tabular search feature to refine the code. Pls feel free to visit our youtube channel and website for more information.
Note: Codes from category Z3A are for use, only on the maternal record, to indicate the weeks of gestation of the pregnancy, if known.
NEC Not elsewhere classifiable This abbreviation in the Tabular List represents “other specified”. When a specific code is not available for a condition, the Tabular List includes an NEC entry under a code to identify the code as the “other specified” code.
Codes from this category also require either a fifth or sixth character specifying the trimester. Code O30.0, Twin pregnancy, is further classified by whether the twin pregnancy is monoamniotic/monochorionic, conjoined twins, other twin pregnancy, or unspecified twin pregnancy.
