ICD-10 Coding for Abdominal Pain During Pregnancy(O26.89, R10.3)
This diagnosis requires careful attention to:
Patient presents with abdominal pain, described as [description of pain]. Pain is confirmed to be related to pregnancy.
Abdominal pain during pregnancy noted. Pain is [severity], located in [location], and has been present for [duration]. No other pregnancy complications identified.
No, these codes are specific to pregnancy. Postpartum conditions have separate codes.
This code should be used when a pregnant patient presents with abdominal pain that is not attributed to a specific pregnancy complication or condition.
