12 root operationsThere are a total of 12 root operations in the Obstetrics section, as outlined in Table 2 below. Only two of these root operations are unique to the Obstetrics section—Abortion and Delivery.
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.
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.
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 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.
For cesarean sections, you choose either the condition that resulted in the performance of the cesarean or the reason the patient was admitted, even if it was unrelated to the condition resulting in the cesarean. Cesareans warrant a deeper dive in general.

This is also is correct code for postpartum care if the patient has had a C-section delivery.#N#Note that the sixth character in the above code indicates the type of scar. You should encourage your providers to be exact and describe the scar with specificity:
O34.21- can be used for both the antepartum and postpartum care of the mother. If the patient has a scar that is causing an obstruction or care beyond that is considered to be normal, the visit generally would not be considered “routine;” therefore, I recommend not coding O34.21- with Z34.- normal pregnancy. If the care rendered is routine, and the ...
