Hi, I have a question:
Patient was admitted in internal medicine for “Hematemesis after having food from outside” patient is 34 weeks pregnant. Internal medicine physician requested consultation from OBG . Ob Gyne physician has seen the patient & she ordered CTG and ultrasound. There was no documentation from physician that Hematemesis is not affecting pregnancy.
Now my colleagues asking me to code Hematemesis &Z33.1 incidental pregnancy. But I wanted to code pregnancy complications because the word “incidental” doesn’t require any workup . Please advise.
