Wiki OB ICD 10 CSEC code.

Hello,

I am inquiring on an ICD 10 code for 35 week premature delivery by C section. I know it is not O82 (normal CSEC without indication).

Thanks,
Mark A.

As I'm digging around there are a few avenues this could go so I would need a little more info to be able to find an educated answer.
Why c-section needed? preterm labor?
check Chapter 15 guidelines as well more information is needed

this may help

Hi, yes this is for preterm labor. Since she was delivered 35 weeks early, I know the ICD O82 would not apply.
Just an UPDATE: I was able to research and find this code: O60.14X0. This is preterm labor, third trimester with pre-term delivery. I think this should work.

yep that is why I asked. I liked the O60 option better
