Hi Coders,
I have couple of doubts about pregnancy complication coding.
When physician doesn't mention any complication and patient is taking any medication related to her Chronic disease. So, just because patient is taking medication, do we code the disease on medication, as complication of pregnancy?
For example: the patient's chronic disease is Asthma, and patient is using Albuterol inhaler, do we code this as complication even though provider mentioned nothing about it?
How do we code chronic conditions like HTN, Diabetes, GERD, OA and so on, even though if we don't find ongoing medication for some of the diseases. Do we still code them as complication of pregnancy, please?
Thank you all for your support.
