669.5x is listed as "Forceps or vacuum extractor delivery without mention of indication." I'm looking for clarification of the "without mention of indication" part. For example, if a vacuum was used to assist delivery because of fetal bradycardia, is fetal bradycardia considered "indication," and 669.5x is not coded?
