If the LMP and the fundal height measurement are consistent but the provider wants an ultrasound done anyway, what would the diagnosis code be? Size/Date discrepancy is not completely accurate since that was already determined with the LMP and fundal height.:confused:
 
Unless/or up until it was confirmed with an Ultrasound earlier, the LMP and fundal hieght cannot be taken for granted as 'correct' /'without descripancy' [especially in this ultrasound era]. Until then and if/whenever the doctor feels at her discretion to date it for sure, that ultrasound could be for dating the pregnancy- 649.6x would be the diagnosis code; not necessarily be a discrepancy existing there.
If the doctor documented that the suspected problem with the growth (for eg, she suspected IUGR,) not found, then the Vcode 89.xx should be the first liusted, code 649series do not apply.
