Wiki Pregnant in an MVA

I am new to ICD 10 coding for OB. Can someone give guidance on a 38 weeking pregnant woman involved in an MVA just for monitoring. No injury.

Consider for one of your codes Z04.1, Encounter for exam and observation following transport accident.

You will need a code to specify the pregnancy. Here's a link to a prior discussion on MVA and pregnancy in this forum:
