    Wiki MVA?

    When a provider documents MVA procedure, what key words should I be looking for to determine whether code 59840 or 59841? What are the key differences in coding between D&E and D&C? Should 59840/59841 only be used in elective procedures or can it be used for treatment of a missed AB?

    Wiki Postpartum dilation and evacuation

    Patient delivered 10 days prior to the D&E. According to CPT manual this should be coded as 59841 - Induced abortion. She did not abort, but delivered and needed the D&E for 'Postpartum hemorrhage due to retained placental fragments'. Is this the correct code?
