Hello
My apologies for posting this if this is in the wrong forum:
Recently where I work at, the providers are wishing to use the following Diagnosis Code: O00.01 Abdominal pregnancy with intrauterine pregnancy to cover any and all expectant mothers who report for L&D purposes with O82 or O80 as a secondary diagnosis to reflect either C-Section or Vaginal Delivery.
This is triggering a warning flag but I can’t quite place why
Is there supporting documents to either support the provider’s request or point out where this is considered a proverbial -no-no-?
