Overview. Cesarean delivery (C-section) is a surgical procedure used to deliver a baby through incisions in the abdomen and uterus. A C-section might be planned ahead of time if you develop pregnancy complications or you've had a previous C-section and aren't considering a vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC).
(2019), VBACs were defined as: a hospitalization with a diagnosis of vaginal birth (ICD–10–CA code Z37) in the absence of a C-section (CCI code 5. MD. 60) and with a previous hospitalization for a C-section (ICD–10–CA O34.

If you've already had a cesarean birth (also called c-section), you may be able to have your next baby vaginally. This is called vaginal birth after cesarean (also called VBAC). You may be able to have a VBAC if your pregnancy is healthy and the incision (cut) in your last c-section was low transverse.
A failed VBAC is defined as failure to achieve a VBAC and the delivery ending by emergency cesarean section. In the study, all of the pregnant women had experienced TOLAC, and were grouped as successful VBAC or failed VBAC.
Reporting Routine Prenatal Visits: routine prenatal visits are reported with a code from category Z34.- It should always be the first-listed diagnosis code unless the patient has other medical conditions affecting the pregnancy. Note that Z34.- codes should never be reported with an O code.
In this case, special monitoring or care throughout pregnancy is needed, which may require more than 13 prenatal visits.
Certain maternity obstetrical care procedures are either highly complex and/or not required by every patient. As such, including these procedures in the Global Package would not be appropriate for most patients and providers.
Coding of vaginal deliveries requires a minimum of 3 codes; a principal diagnosis code, an outcome of delivery code and a weeks of gestation code. Fortunately, there are guidelines and notes to provide direction in properly assigning these codes.
The notes at the beginning of Chapter 15 Pregnancy, Childbirth and the Puerperium indicate that in addition to the Chapter 15 codes, the coder should assign a code from category Z3A, Weeks of gestation, to identify the specific week of the pregnancy, if known. The guidelines provide further direction, ...
For delivery admissions, the principal diagnosis is the condition that prompted the admission. If multiple conditions prompted the admission, the condition most related to the delivery is the principal diagnosis (ICD-10-CM Coding Guideline I.C.15.b.4).
