Dear members
Scenario : 1
If the patient is presenting with an open wound of finger and it is stated in HPI that the patient is pregnant (say 3 months) what would be the code used to represent the pregnancy? Note: the doctor has NOT mentioned that the condition is affecting pregnancy.
Scenario : 2
The patient presents with sorethraot,nausea and vomiting.The doctor Performs a pregnancy test and it proves to be positive. The doctor gave the diagnosis Pharyngitis and Pregnancy. I use V72.42 for the pregnancy finding (not a code from chapter 11 since OB/GYN care has not yet begun for this patient), but my colleagues have doubts regarding the use of V72.42, they suggest V22.2 to be used.
Please clarify these doubts..
Thanks in advance
