When a provider documents MVA procedure, what key words should I be looking for to determine whether code 59840 or 59841? What are the key differences in coding between D&E and D&C? Should 59840/59841 only be used in elective procedures or can it be used for treatment of a missed AB?

Yes, the abortion codes should only be used when you have a live fetus and the pregnancy is terminated. The difference between D&C and D&E is that they are using a forceps with D&E- they may also perform curettage. For a missed abortion, you would use 59820/21
