What diagnoses would you use for an OB presenting with pelvic pain? I would normally use 646.83/625.9, but I saw a reference for round ligament pain in a SMFM diagnosis listing presented as 654.43/625.9. Any thoughts??
 
pelvic pain

I code for an OB practice and we use 1- 648.93: other current conditons classifiable elsewhere and 2- 789.00: abdominal pain. I would not use the abnormality of uterus because we would not know there was an abnormality unless the doctor indicated that.
