Patient delivers via c-section following previous c-section. Anesthesia administered. According to documentation no mention of antepartum or postpartum condition is noted. Which code would you use to be most accurate as far as this procedure: 654.20 or 654.21
 
654.21 because you state delivered. The 5th digit of "1" = delivererd without mention of postpartum complication. FYI - the 5th digit of "0" = unspecified.
