Office visit service for pregnancy confirmation

<< < (2/2)

PMRNC:
I agree with Michele, I would think there needs to be something else she came in for, she had to have had the pregnancy confirmed (proof of positive pregnancy)
If there is no other code that the record would reflect, I would think there is not much to do. If Medicaid was requiring a PCP referral I would call them up and ask them what to do. Usually the patient brings in proof of positive pregnancy test to the OB, if she got test there and diagnostic test to confirm maybe that's what you need.

Thanks for your response, Linda! There is nothing else recorded on the clinical notes. Let me check with the doctor to see if there was any other problem that the patient came for.

Michele:
It doesn't have to be 'another' problem.  But can't you use pain, nausea, or missed mense as primary and then pregnancy as a secondary dx?

SO LONG AS IT is in the Medical Record.. remember if it wasn't documented, it wasn't done.
