Hello! Is there any clarification on when to use these following codes separately or if they can be used together:
. Failed Induction of Labor" O61.0
. Secondary Uterine Inertia" (Arrested active phase labor) O62.1
. Prolonged Second Stage (of Labor) O63.1
If a patient presented for IOL, and was receiving Pitocin for over 24 hours and failed to dilate past 4 cm, I feel like all of these codes apply. It just seems like O62.1 and O63.1 might be the same issue. Does O63.1 mean that the patient did deliver vaginally eventually rather than moving to a C-Section?
Thank you!
