Wiki OBGYN - gestational age Z codes

[leskew01]

Does anyone know if the gestational age Z codes are listed last on a claim. For example, say a patient had a normal vaginal delivery of a single liveborn at 39 weeks. Would you code the DXs as O80, Z39.0, Z3A.39 or O80, Z3A.39, Z39.0?

I can't find anything in the guidelines specifying if the gestational code goes last or not...only that it is an additional code.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Z3a.39

From what I've seen the outcome of delivery is last so Z3A.39 would come before Z39.0

O80, Z3A.39, Z39.0

List the O code, then Weeks of Gestation and then the Outcome of Delivery. 'hope this helps.
