Patient delivered 10 days prior to the D&E. According to CPT manual this should be coded as 59841 - Induced abortion. She did not abort, but delivered and needed the D&E for 'Postpartum hemorrhage due to retained placental fragments'.

Is this the correct code?
 
59160 is the correct code for postpartum D & Curettage. support with ICD Code for Retained placetal tissues
