Hello everyone -

Need some help understanding when to use diagnosis Z34.90-Z34.93? Any good sources out there to help me? greatly appreciated, thanks.

Z34.00- Z34.03 = first pregnancy, no complications
Z34.80- Z34.83 = additional pregnancy, not first time, no complications
Z34.90- Z34.93 =
 
Z34.90-Z34.93 would be if the records do not indicate whether or not this is a first pregnancy. Obviously, well documented visits would indicate this. But if the note doesn't specify, then you would use the unspecified Z34.9____. You should always pick the most specific diagnosis indicated in the record. Unfortunately, that sometimes means unspecified.
