Any suggestions / recommendations, please.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
My main struggle has been and still is, "Labor pains" as stated in patients reason for admission.
My understanding for 2018 guidelines, Chapter 15-b-4 When a delivery occurs, "the condition that prompted the admissions should be sequenced as the principal diagnosis."
If "strong labor pains" or "labor pains" was stated, how do I code for that? I must be overlooking something because I searched the index under Pain, Labor, and Contractions, and haven’t not found one that I’m comfortable with.
Has anyone encountered this?
Already in desperate mode.
Thank you in advance.
