Question

A 32 year-old woman with a previous vertical incision for cesarean delivery presents in spontaneous labor with the baby in cephalic presentation. She has had an uneventful pregnancy and after laboring for 10 hours she delivers a single female child with brief use of a vacuum extractor over an episiotomy that is repaired by the delivering physician. There are no complications. What are the diagnosis codes for this delivery?

Answer 1

The diagnosis codes for this delivery are O80, Z37.0, Z3A.32, Z3A.00, and Z3A.34.

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagnosis codes for this delivery would depend on the coding system used. In the United States, the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) is commonly used for medical coding. The diagnosis codes for this delivery would include the following:

• O80 - Encounter for full-term uncomplicated delivery
• Z37.0 - Single live birth
• Z3A.32 - 32 years
• Z3A.00 - 39 or more completed weeks of gestation
• Z3A.34 - Vaginal delivery after previous cesarean delivery

These codes provide specific information about the patient's condition and the type of delivery she had. They are used for medical billing and insurance purposes.
