Overview
The ICD-10-PCS coding guidelines for obstetrics are short but the considerations for reporting OB-related PCS codes are many. In this webinar, we will discuss OB coding from soup to nuts, including considerations for data collection and reporting.
Objectives:
- Differentiate between Medical and Surgical and Obstetrical sections of ICD‐10‐PCS when coding pregnancy‐related procedures
- Determine the body part for coding obstetrical laceration repairs
- Utilize Coding Clinic advice for coding obstetrical cases
- Distinguish between the Extraction tables in the Medical and Surgical and Obstetrics sections
