Amenorrhea is not a missed period of one month. If the visit was prior to Oct 1 2015 then code 626.0 is incorrect. The category 626 states disorders of menstruation or other abnormal bleeding. Which is not a category that describes this patient. The code 626.0 is for primary or secondary amenorrhea, meaning a patient that has never had a period or has sustained abcense of 6 months or more. You use only the the code for pregnancy test positive result, in ICD-9 or ICD-10 CM. If this visit occurred after oct 1, 2015, then why are you using ICD-9 codes?
 
Thanks

If you are billing for US insurance you must use the ICD-10 CM codes. My inbox is full on a daily basis no matter how much I reply and erase, sorry for the inconvenience.
