Hello,
How would I code for Repeat Global C/S, T incision on uterus? I assume 59510 as I can't find anything different, but wanted to double check with you lovely coders.
Is there an ICD 10 I should use to show this was done? I found ICD 10 for history of T incision (O34.218), but not one for this case. So I know I would use O34.211 for the previous C/Section.
Also, there were adhesions and that's why the Doctor had to do the T incision. Note states, "dense adhesions of the bladder to the lower uterine segment made it not possible to grasp the uterine visceral peritoneum. Therefore I made my uterine incision above the area of the adhesions. ....."I was unable to guide the head through the incision, I teed to the incision in the midline. I then used the kiwi vacuum to help guide the head out of the incision...."
For the adhesions would I use N73.6, female pelvic peritoneal adhesions?
Thank you for your advice.
