When Linda Holtzman and I were bandying about how the correct code for a condition which is neither complicating or complicated by a pregnancy would be the Z33.1 code , Pregnant state, incidental, we did not give the detail that the provider must explicitly state that the condition is not affecting the pregnancy (Official Guidelines, Section I, C. 15. a. 1). All conditions are presumed to be pregnancy-relevant unless the provider states they are not.

If having a previous cesarean delivery is relevant, such as trying to determine whether or not to try a VBAC (vaginal birth after Csxn) or to do a repeat section (either during an antepartum visit or at the time of delivery), it is obvious to use the O34.21- code set. If the provider is counseling the patient, or working up a potential uterine rupture due to the previous scar, the O34.21- codes would be applicable. The payor would not need more substantiation to consider it relevant (and worthy of increasing SOI).

Do you believe in adapting coding to make payers happy?

Philosophically, I do not believe in adapting coding to make payers happy. I believe in documenting to tell the truth, and coding to tell the story. The fact that we have to fight denials is unfortunate.

If the provider documents supporting evidence, it establishes legitimacy as a secondary diagnosis and should be captured.
