Wiki ICD9 for bacterial vaginosis while pregnant - What would be the appropriate

[ggparker14]

What would be the appropriate code for bacterial vaginosis while pregnant?

Thanks for any help.

I don't code a lot of pregnancy but I'm going to say 646.63, 616.10, and 041.19.

I would code only 646.63. In pregnancy cases, we should code only from chapter 11 unless and until specified otherwise.

Obstetric cases require codes from chapter 11, codes in the range 630-679, Complications of Pregnancy, Childbirth, and the Puerperium. Chapter 11 codes have sequencing priority over codes from other chapters. Additional codes from other chapters may be used in conjunction with chapter 11 codes to further specify conditions -from ICD guidelines.
