Cervical Ripening (Labor Induction) using cervical inserts or tablets with prostaglandins (e.g. Cervidil®, Prepidil®, misoprostol or similar) should be coded as: 3E0P7GC--Introduction of other therapeutic substance into female reproductive, via natural or artificial opening.

The lay description for this code states that CPT code 59200 is to be used to report chemical stimulation and dilation of the cervical canal.
Cervical ripening is the process of preparing the cervix for labor and delivery. A healthcare provider may recommend medication, mechanical dilators or other procedures to help soften and open the cervix.Nov 18, 2021
Cervical ripening is often the first component of labor induction and is used to facilitate the softening and thinning of the cervix in preparation for labor. Common methods used for cervical ripening include both mechanical (e.g., Foley or Cook catheters) and pharmacologic (e.g., prostaglandins) methods.Oct 29, 2018
Primary inadequate contractionsICD-10-CM Code for Primary inadequate contractions O62. 0.
Effacement refers to the thinning of the cervix during labor. It's also described as a softening, shortening, or even “ripening.” (Yeah, we don't love that term, either.) In pregnancy, the cervix is usually between 3.5 and 4 centimeters long.Feb 12, 2020
Cervical ripening may help start natural labor or even shorten the labor process. Some women go into labor after cervical ripening without requiring an induction medication. Another benefit of cervical ripening is that it helps those medications, like oxytocin, be more successful.
Conclusion: Compared with Cervidil, intravaginal misoprostol has similar efficacy in cervical ripening but seems to be associated with longer postpartum stays and hospitalization. The effect of intravaginal misoprostol on postpartum complications needs further study.
Associated with cervical ripening is an increase in the enzyme cyclooxygenase-2, leading to a local increase of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in the cervix. The increase in local PGE2 leads to a series of important changes associated with cervical ripening, including the following: Dilation of small vessels in the cervix.Feb 28, 2018
Pitocin is used once the cervix is already ripened, meaning the cervix is softened and ready to start dilating. On the other hand, Cervidil is used when the cervix has NOT ripened. Cervidil helps soften the cervix and prepares it for labor, but it is not used to stimulate contractions.
Maternal care for other abnormalities of cervix, unspecified trimester. O34. 40 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
ICD-10 | Pain in right hip (M25. 551)
Dystocia of labor is defined as difficult labor or abnormally slow progress of labor. Other terms that are often used interchangeably with dystocia are dysfunctional labor, failure to progress (lack of progressive cervical dilatation or lack of descent), and cephalopelvic disproportion (CPD).May 8, 2017
Augmentation of labor is the stimulation of the strength or frequency of uterine contractions using pharmacologic methods or artificial rupture of membranes (AROM) after spontaneous labor or spontaneous rupture of membranes (SROM) has occurred.
Obstetrics coding is particularly challenging. I always say that documentation is for clinical communication, but if you have ever read an obstetrics encounter, you really are struck with the fact that obstetricians and nurse midwives are documenting solely to communicate with each other.
If vaginal delivery fails, you only code the Csxn. Unless they add a qualifier of vacuum extraction to Csxn, vacuum-assisted Csxn is only coded as the specific extraction, open approach. 3. Procedures performed in conjunction with the delivery or as a result of a complication of the delivery can include:
According to the requester, CPT code 59200 "INSERTION OF CERVICAL DILATER (E.G., LAMINARIA, PROSTAGLANDIN) (SEPARATE PROCEDURE)" describes the procedure. P.
59200 Insertion of cervical dilator is the code for the foley balloon insertion into the endocervix, promoting cervical ripening when inflated. It probably is part of the obstetric package and may not be billable.
Foley insertion for delivery#N#59855 is to induce an abortion, not to induce active labor to deliver a live fetus. An abortion is not done in the third trimester.#N#59200 for cervical dilator would be the correct code.
