We have been having discussion amongst our coders regarding diastisis recti noted on exam. Some of the coders feel it should be a musculskeletal exam and others feel it is GI. I am unable to find anything specifically addressing this. Does any one else have anything documentation supporting this one way or the other? If not, please give your opinions. Thanks!
 
Since it is a muscle disorder, I would credit the musculoskeletal system.

I can understand that others may want to classify it as part of the abdomen (body area) due to its location.
