Hiya! I am trying to figure out what diagnosis codes I should be using when I am billing non global after a delivery in the hospital. I know that if there are continued complications you would code those but if there isn't then that is where I am getting myself mixed up. So if the patient has delivered and it is the next day and we aren't addressing any complications what diagnosis codes should I use? I've seen some say Z39.0 but others say that isn't right for this situation. Do I use Z39.2 or is that only for the clinic PP visits? Also does this code change based on other circumstances? For example, if the mother is having issues with lactation, a lactation discussion happens (such as discussing when to supplement or suggestions), or even if a discussion happens and they set up or give them what they need to get connected with a specialist, would you use Z39.1 instead? Or if they discuss that the mother is feeling depressed or could potentially have/develop PP depression do you use Z13.39, Z13.31, or Z13.32??? Or does that depend on how involved they are such as feeling that way being mentioned vs giving resources or referrals to a MH specialist? Or do they have to actually prescribe the mother something for it for it to be coded that way?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
