I have a patient who had an induced legal abortion at Planned Parenthood then came in to our facility for a follow up appointment with our Nurse Midwife. There was a brief exam, talk of contraceptive (IUD) management, and they discussed related emotional issues, and a referral was made to a therapist.
My question is: is 779.6, Termination of Pregnancy, appropriate as the primary dx code? If not, what other code might be more appropriate? We also have V25.42 - IUD surveillance.
Thanks for your insight!!
