I am not really familiar with OBGYN, but I have a provider who is coding O24.415 - Gestational diabetes mellitus in pregnancy, controlled by oral hypoglycemic drugs. My issue is that this patient is 7 month postpartum, therefore I believe that this MD should not longer be using the O - code, because the patient is no longer pregnant, and if the patient still has diabetes after she has already delivered that the provider should not be using the appropriate diabetes or pre-diabetes ICD-10 code. Can someone either agree or disagree with me and explain why? Thank you
