I have a question on the following:
I'm billing for split antepartum care and need to assign multiple trimester codes from chapter 15.
Guidelines: If the patient is admitted to the hospital during one trimester and then discharged after entering a subsequent trimester, the trimester when the condition developed would be selected.
I understand this.
My question is if i need to also assign icd-10 codes for each week of gestation per trimester, i.e. Z3a.XX. I would think this would deny with multiple O-codes/trimesters?
Example:
Other malformation of placenta, third trimester O43.193, Z3A.36
Supervision of other high risk pregnancies, first trimester O09.891, Z3a.08
