Getting different answers depending on who I speak with so Id thought I would reach out to the experts here....When coding the maternal record..do I code the live born code (Z37.0) or the gestation code (Z3a.39) first?
 
I am pretty sure that the order of these two codes does not matter, as long as they are not first listed before any O codes.
