A pregnant patient comes in for an ultrasound because the physician wants to monitor the nuchal cord. The only code I can find in ICD-10 is O69.81x0 which reads 'Labor and delivery complicated by cord around neck, without compression'. This is not a labor and delivery situation, but an antepartum period. Is this the correct code?
