If a patient develops gestational diabetes during their pregnancy, according to ICD-9-CM, a code from 648.8x Abnormal glucose tolerance is applied. Again, if insulin is used to treat gestational diabetes, code V58.67 Long-term (current) use of insulin is assigned.
Using ICD-10-CM, women who are diabetic and become pregnant should be assigned a code from category O24 Diabetes mellitus in pregnancy, childbirth, and the puerperium first, followed by the appropriate diabetes code (s) (E08-E13) from Chapter 4. This is similar to how codes are assigned currently using ICD-9-CM. There is also a code for long-term use of insulin in ICD-10-CM, Z79.4 Long-term (current) use of insulin and it should be assigned if the diabetes mellitus is being treated with insulin.
Careful documentation will ensure accurate coding. Abnormal glucose is assigned a code from subcategory O99.81 Abnormal glucose complicating pregnancy, childbirth, and the puerperium in ICD-10-CM.
The codes under subcategory O24.4 include diet controlled and insulin controlled. If a patient with gestational diabetes is treated with both diet and insulin, only the code for insulin-controlled is required. Code Z79.4 Long-term (current) use of insulin, should not be assigned with codes from subcategory O24.4.
Diabetes can complicate a pregnancy but it doesn’t need to cause complications for coding, if you follow the guidelines.
