I had a question on a study guide for ICD-9-CM coding for my students.
It was: Acute renal failure following labor and delivery, the codes on the answer key were:
584.9 and 669.32
When reading in the book it states:
When you read 669.32 it is for acute renal failure following labor and delivery:
2009 ICD-9-CM Diagnosis Code 669.32
Acute renal failure with delivery with postpartum complication
I read the guidelines and I did not see anything regarding multiple coding, and after reading the ICD-9 book on both codes 584 clearly stated to exclude 669.3 so my question is 669.32 the only code that would be used or am I miising or forgetting something and thats why you would use both 584.9 and 669.32?
