I am hoping someone can help on this one. Patient comes in 8 weeks pregnant and has an ultrasound. Indication on report: bleeding.

I am starting to second guess using PTL. There is also the ICD-9 for spotting complicating pregnancy, 649.5X. Does anyone know when this applies?

Any help on this would be helpful...

Thanks in advance,
Rhonda
 
I believe that spotting is alot different than bleeding. I would tend to use the 640.xx series, as this is hemorrhage in early pregnancy.
 
Bleeding in early pregnancy..

Hi,

We would use dx code 640.93 for before 22 weeks gestation and Dx 641.93 for after 22 weeks gestation..

Hope this helps you..
