Wiki Status Post C-Section - Now with Hemorrhage???

[ginger43]

What is the best diagnosis code to assign for a patient who is s/p c-section now with hemorrhage? She has already been dc'd home. I looked at the post-procedural complications, but there is nothing in this to specify patient was s/p delivery, c-section, etc. so I was't sure......

Any thoughts on appropriate way to code this type of scenario?

Thanks!

O90.0 Disruption Cesarean Delivery Wound and O90.2 Hematoma of obstetric wound are the two codes found while looking into this same question.

What is causing the hemorrhage? Is it the wound or the uterus? Look at category O72 for post-partum hemorrhage.
