If there is no indication (or more precisely, no medical indication –“OB going on vacation next week” probably isn’t really a legitimate indication), “O82, Encounter for cesarean delivery without indication” is the code.
In that case, you only use Z39.0, Encounter for care and examination of mother immediately after delivery, since she didn’t actually deliver during this admission and wasn’t technically pregnant during this admission.
The most commonly missed risk-adjusting factor is acute blood loss anemia (ABLA). When I evaluated an OB service line and determined the reason the case mix index (CMI) was so low compared to peers, the underlying cause was that they never documented ABLA. The chair told me, “all our patients have ABLA!” I emphatically agreed. My recommendation was to use a combined threshold estimated blood loss (EBL) and drop in hematocrit, as well as to document the treatment or monitoring of the ABLA. If they were not going to transfuse, I suggested documentation of iron therapy, and repeat hemoglobin/hematocrit levels were planned. Coupling this with education noting that sustaining ABLA is not a patient safety indicator was sufficient to change behavior and improve CMI.
Did complications arise during the delivery or in the postpartum period (defined as from delivery to six weeks post-term)? “Puerperium” means the period between childbirth and the return of the uterus to its normal size. Be sure to select the correct code that designates trimester in childbirth (during labor), or in puerperium (postpartum).
There are O codes indicating that a condition in any other body system is impacting the pregnancy. If the rest of Chapter 15 doesn’t have a specific code, numerous “obstetric conditions not elsewhere classified which are complicating pregnancy, childbirth, and the puerperium” can be found in O94-O9A.
As an example, a patient in the third trimester who was involved in a motor vehicle collision and brought in for observation who went on to deliver would warrant the “O9A.22, Injury, poisoning, and certain other consequences of external causes complicating childbirth” code. You then would add the codes that told the remainder of the story: what was injured, the circumstances of the incident, the outcome of the delivery, how many weeks pregnant she was, how she delivered, whether there any other complications, etc.
The primary diagnosis (PD) is always an “O” (for obstetrics) code. If she came in for an “unrelated” condition, there should be an O code – as a physician, I cannot recall a single patient who went on to deliver during an admission whose PD was not a complication of (or complicating) the pregnancy.
