Having questions whether or not somethings can be considered a post partum complication, as the Providers are monitoring these:

Would Patient with gHTN in labor, labs wnl. Patient also with bipolar disorder on lithium, postpartum level wnl.

Pregnancy course c/b IgA nephropathy, on prednisone 60mg daily, s/p stress dose steroids, will continue prednisone 60mg daily. Cr stable today at 1.42 from 1.4 yesterday. Recheck CBC/CMP tomorrow. They have been monitoring this for the past 3 days post partum.

Thank you for your thoughts and help!
 
Hi, I am not an expert. My thoughts are: it's a complication, billable as a separate E/M, it's outside of the normal postpartum care because the documentation says:
1. pregnancy complicated by nephropathy and she is on meds daily with checking her Cr daily/tomorrow.
2. monitoring for 3 days nephropathy is outside of normal pregnancy or postpartum. Just my thought but again, I am not an expert.
