Since there is no code for "incidental postpartum status", how would you code this?
Assessment/final dx: patient is 12 days postpartum with hydronephrosis and renal calculus
The ICD-10 guidelines state: “a postpartum complication is any complication occurring within the six-week period”. It doesn’t specifically state pregnancy-related complication.
Would you code this as O99.89 & N13.2? Should coders always use the O code series when the patient is in the postpartum period?
