Marginal Cord Insertion...redundant codes?

Hello,

O36.51_ _ Maternal care for known or suspected placental insufficiency
O43.19_ Other malformation of placenta

There is no exact code for Marginal Cord Insertion. Both of these codes are being currently used for ultrasound. I am thinking that the first one would be sufficient. Any information is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Joyce
