Wiki Bleeding in early pregnancy

[Rgreen0118]

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.

I also would use the 640. codes

 

[srinivas r sajja]

we use 640.93 before completion of 22 weeks

I would go with 640.93 before 22 weeks and 641.93 after 22 weeks of gestation
