Wiki Postpartum Complications w/ Z3A codes

[bmills228@icloud.com]

I have a postpartum patient with sepsis and cannot decide what to do about the Z3A code. I know it is a requirement to use a Z3A code with any O code but cannot decide what to use since the condition arose during that postpartum period.

Thanks for any help!
