Wiki Help w/ D&E coding

[kellyg]

Our patient had a 17 week pregnancy with preterm premature rupture of membranes. The provider performed a D&E

I'm using 59841 for the CPT but I'm not sure which diagnosis code would be most appropriate.

Any suggestions?

634.99 based on what you have documented here.

 

[em2177]

CPT: 59841
ICD9: 634.99 if there was no mention of hemorrhage or complication.

I would be inclined to use 634.71 with 59841.
