On a professional claim, when submitting CPT codes 59510 (Cesarean delivery) and 58611 (Ligation or transection of fallopian tube(s) when done at the time of cesarean delivery), ICD-10 diagnosis codes O32.1XX0 (Maternal care for breech presentation, unspecified), Z37.0 (Single live birth) and Z30.2 (Encounter for sterilization) are reported in Box 21A, B and C of the CMS-1500 claim form. Is it appropriate to use the diagnosis pointer for codes A and B for procedure 59510 and the diagnosis pointer C for procedure 58611? Or should procedure 58611 be reported with all diagnosis codes (A, B and C)?
