Thank you Andrade, I appreciate. You know what? I learnt something new too out of your thread.
"665.22 states delivered, with mention of postpartum complication (Delivered on this Admin, condition began after delivery)
665.24 states, postpartum condtion or complication (delivered before admission, outside hospital''.
Yes when we rush up with the each code and its correlation with these 5th digit, we are not able to make the right sense sometimes.I felt it and used to confuse me. But you rightly gave the meaning of it and gave me more clarification to ponder more about.
yes the .22 meant the delivery at the hospital ( that too at the labor suite; Even if it delivers at ED or at the door of the hospital, it is considered outside delivery.) .24 comes for delivered outside with providing info of post partum condition and its complication. It never occured to my mind before as it occured today.
It is understandable that the wording in .22 and .24 could lead us the way you persumed but as it being a common factor for many codes following its notes, and the specificity and the nature of this condition, I feel it does not make the same meaning as we persume.
Thank you Andrade, you enlightened and gave me an insight into it.
Thank you
