Hello,
I'm a physician coder for an ob/gyn practice. One of my docs was the PRIMARY OB for a patient he delivered and he reported "2nd degree laceration with capsular involvement/partial 3rd degree. I have read conflicting reports on what code to use. I also understand that 3rd and 4th degree lacerations get reported for Patient Safety Indicators. Please someone help!! How is this coded??
