Is anxiety billed with OB code mental disorder (O99.344) or nervous system (O99.354)?

I'm reviewing claims for clinical validation and I see codes
O99.344 (Other mental disorders complicating childbirth) and F32.A (Depression, unspecified) billed together and then I see codes
O99.354 (Diseases of the nervous system complicating childbirth) and F41.1 (Generalized anxiety disorder) billed together. Should code F41.1 (Generalized anxiety disorder) be billed with O99.354 or O99.344?

TIA for your input.
 
Hi, the code range for each is specified in ICD 10. Mental health would be correct for the F codes specified.
