Good Afternoon!
I have a question about the ICD-10 chapter 16 guidelines, section d.
The guidelines state "Codes from the category P05 should NOT be assigned with codes from category P07."
Then 2 sentences later it states "A code from P05 and codes from P07.2 and P07.3 may be used to specify weeks of gestation as documented by the provider in the record."
This seems to be contradictory.
Can someone explain this so I understand it better?
Thank you!!
