What is CPTÂ®? CPTÂ® codes are the United Statesâ standard for how medical professionals document and report medical, surgical, radiology, laboratory, anesthesiology, and evaluation and management (E/M) services. All healthcare providers, payers, and facilities use CPTÂ® codes.
Coding for this type of delivery raises a multitude of questions because the CPT Manual and ICD-9 Manual, Volume 3 do not include any codes specifically for these deliveries. However, there is a relevant diagnosis codeâ661.3x (precipitate labor)âand coders must select a fifth digit for added specificity. If you code obstetrics and gynecology (OB/GYN), you know that precipitous labors and deliveries occur more frequently than we would like to admit.
