When a delivery summary states "nuchal cord x1, loose, slipped over head" does that require the O69.81X0 Labor and delivery complicated by cord around neck, without compression, not applicable or unspecified?
I'm in Vermont and Medicaid is denying claims stating the O69 code cannot be primary but the only other codes are Z370 and Z3A37. Should I be using O80 and leave the O69 off because the cord did not actually create a "problem"?
