Hi,
Please suggest me an appropriate ICD code for preterm contractions in a 32 -36wks pregnant female.
We have 621.8 for non-pregnant female and 661.X series for any abnormality in uterine contractions during pregnancy.
But I need a code for normal uterine contractions and the patient is taken to L & D for delivery. I have no other code except for 646.83 with any other chief complaint if documented in the record.
Thank You,
Purnima S
