I work for an anesthesia group which renders services in an outpatient setting I am coding a d & c (58120) however i am perplexed with the icd 9 the doctor used for the dx (thickening of the endometrium) 793.5.

If anyone is familiar with this or can clarify why this code i would appreciate it.:confused:
 
My understanding of this code is that they have had an X-ray or other radiology type procedure, that show's a thickened endometrium (just what the code says), that could be from polyps, fibroids, or any number of other reasons. The D & C will help determine whether something more needs to be done.
