Hello,
We were wondering if you have a pregnancy less than 10 weeks along and you are billing 99213, can you use an O-code like O20.0 as primary diagnosis? Because the patient is less than 10 weeks along and this qualifies as a problematic pregnancy until after 10 weeks, can we omit the Z33 as primary and just use the O-codes? If not, can O-codes ever be used as primary diagnosis?
