Patient is 4 days postpartum, comes into ER for headache and HTN. She was induced because of the HTN. She is being admitted because they are concerned for pre-eclampsia. Not documented if she had a dx of HTN before the pregnancy. I could use some help please.

Thanks,
denise
 
Hi Denise, did you ever figure this out? I have a similar situation and am getting very frustrated trying to find a way to capture this info correctly with ICD 10.
 
Postpartum Preeclampsia

The code for this is O14.90. Preeclampsia is not the same as eclampsia so the O15.2 is not correct. I hope that helps.

Approximate Synonyms for O14.90
Antepartum preeclampsia
Postpartum preeclampsia
Postpartum preeclampsia (high blood pressure and protein in urine,after childbirth)
Pre-eclampsia
Preeclampsia (high blood pressure and protein in urine during pregnancy)
Pre-eclampsia postpartum
 
actually the correct code for this is O14.95, unspecified pre-eclampsia, complicating the puerperium...this is for POSTPARTUM pre-eclampsia
