Patient 12 wks. 4days pregnant sent to OBT for no heart tones. Diagnosis is Early pregnancy loss, no cardiac activity on the bedside US. Would the DX be O02.1- missed abortion?


Thank you in advance!
 
Hi, yes it appears to be a missed abortion but I would go back to the provider and let them know that "early pregnancy loss" is not a codeable term. Looking in the Index, under Loss , Pregnancy, only refers to recurrent loss, and I didn't find the term loss under Pregnancy. You shouldn't have to extrapolate
