One - forgive me if this is a stupid question, but can V22.2 be used as the first listed dx for an antepartum visit? I would not think so, but I have a doctor who consistently uses it.
Two - I had one record with documentation stating the complaint of pelvic pain was not OB-related, but no mention of this being an antepartum visit. However, there was no E/M assigned and it was being treated as a pre-natal visit as no CPT was assigned, the primary dx was V22.1 and no pelvic pain coded as a secondary dx. Something seems amiss, but for a rookie OB/GYN auditor, I wanted to ask the experts here.
Thank you!
