Help...I'm new to OB/GYN and an apprentice coder. My "mentor" is not here at the time...if a pt is diabetic, type II, controlled, and she is pregnant, would I automatically code a "gestational diabetes" along w/her diabetic code? I know the diabetes and gestational diab guidelines, what I don't know is if she is "automatically" diagnosed as gestational diab if she is diab and pregnant. (since gestational diab is usually defined as someone who only developed diab during pregnancy).
Thank you!
Thank you!
