Hello,
I am new to OB coding for Sonography. I am coding out a limited study, 76815, and want input on correct diagnosis.
Patient had previous sono in 11/2011, and the doctor ordered a follow up sono on 12/29/11 because the fetus was in breeech position on the 11/2011 Sono.
I found a diagnosis code of 761.7, malpresentation before labor. I am not sure if I should use this, or another code form pregnancy complication area.
Does anybody have any useful tips.
Thanks,
LIsa Gasho/Wichita, KAnsas
