I attended a seminar last fall taught by another CPC-H, who stated that if a pregnant patient comes in with a non-pregnancy related condition, and the physician does not state that the pregnancy is incidental, you should assign 648.93, followed by the condition. Her rationale was that the pregnancy affects the treatment plan. 648.93 is a "nonobstetric"condition affecting management of pregnancy. Our consultant does not agree. Any input is appreciated.
