Hello, I don't know much about OB coding and was wondering if anyone can help me with this question our midwife has:
how can you indicate that the labor and delivery were totally normal, but she was induced for a medical condition. It was a pregnancy complication, but her labor was normal and her delivery was normal?
She wants to use diagnosis O80 which to my understanding is a single diagnosis code and is not to be used with any other codes from chapter 15, and O26.613 Liver and biliary tract disorders in pregnancy, third trimester. Whats the appropriate diagnosis to use in this situation?
