Pt has both a TV and pelvic OB US performed...order states ? viability.

Impression reads: There is evidence for a blighted ovum and a nonviable pregnancy.

What dx code would be applicable?
 
ICD-9 code for blighted ovum is 631. Since there was a finding related to the chief complaint of viability you would code the finding.

You should code the exam as an OB US with the 631.
 
you are right. The word evidence does make it a not codeable condition. I totally missed that!! I would go with Missed abortion as the dx due to the words of non-viable preganancy.
