BillableAbnormal glucose complicating the puerperium
This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
A woman has abnormal blood sugar levels during the postpartum period, which is the recovery time after giving birth. This requires monitoring to prevent complications during healing.
Coding Tips
- •Use this code for abnormal glucose documented in the postpartum period (typically up to 6 weeks after delivery)
- •Do not use this code if the abnormal glucose was present during pregnancy or delivery; use the appropriate trimester-specific code instead
