Hi eveyrone:

Long time coder but first time coding OBGyn. Not sure what dx to use for global c section for high risk pregnancy. Pt had severe pre-clampsia. Should I use as the primary
dx O09.893 with Z37.0 as second dx or should I use O34.211 as primary dx?

Thank you

Diane
 
O34.211 is to be used if primary reason for section is patient had a previous delivery by c-section.

It sounds like primary reason is eclampsia..I would use either O14.0x (mild to moderate pre-eclampsia) or O14.1x (severe pre-eclampsia) depending on presenting factors.
A supervision of pregnancy code is not a valid diagnosis to be used for a delivery. I would use that when billing for antenatal care only.

Hope this helps!
