Induction of Labor vs Post-term Pregnancy
Hi, I’m trying to find the Admitting Dx and reason stated is, Induction of Labor.
Documentation does not state, Induction of Labor due to Post-term however, it does show that she is post-term.
I just wanted to see if using Post-term (O48.0) is acceptable because Induction of Labor is a procedure and not a Dx.
