When a OB patient comes in as a drop in and the dx is elevated bp, do we still code it as a subsequent prenatal visit?
 
OB Drop in visit

Is the elevated BP a result of their pregnancy? If so, then yes, it would be coded as a prenatal visit. If the elevated BP had nothing to do with the pregnancy, but was the result of something unrelated to their pregnancy, then it would not be coded as a prenatal visit.
