Hi
patient is seen for her initial OB care visit at 10 weeks gestation. she has history of C-section(low transverse scar) in a previous pregnancy. which ICD10 code fits best?:

O09.893-Supervision of other high risk pregnancies, first trimester
Z98.891-History of uterine scar from previous surgery

or

O34.211-Maternal care for low transverse scar from previous cesarean delivery
Z3A.10- 10 weeks gestation of pregnancy

is O34.211 only for labor and delivery or for prenatal care too as noted above?
 
Diagnosis coding history of C-section current pregnancy

O34.211 is correct code that can be used for prenatal care and for delivery. Women with previous C-sections constitute a high risk group in obstetrics due to possible uterine rupture and other complications that could occur in a second pregnancy. O34.211 and Z3A.10. You could also add O09.291 'supervision high risk pregnancy other poor reproductive or obstetric hx first trimester' as the patient is considered high risk because of her previous C-section.
 
Z98.891 has an EXCLUDES 1 note maternal care due to uterine scar from previous surgery O34.2- (and remember, EXCLUDES 1 means not coded here).

ahg,
CPC, CPMA, CGSC

how shall they be sequenced O09.291, O34.211, Z3A.10 or O34.211,O09.291,Z3A.10?
 
diagnosis coding for history of C section current pregnancy

The high-risk pregnancy code would go first then the previous C-section code and then the gestational weeks code. O09.21; O34.211; Z3A.10. The high-risk code is for pre-natal care. It would not be used with the delivery. O34.211 can be used for delivery too.
