Medical coders must assign and input the correct diagnostic code to establish the amount of money a health care provider or facility gets reimbursed from the insurer. In order to maintain consistency, they must utilize standard classification systems, like ICD-9-CM/CPT/HCPCS/DRG/APC.
Sometimes a small amount of spotting or vaginal bleeding is one of the first symptoms of pregnancy. Known as implantation bleeding, it happens when the fertilised egg attaches to the lining of the uterus â about 10 to 14 days after fertilization.
Fertilization and Implantation Symptoms. When the egg is ready for fertilization, it travels from the ovaries into the fallopian tube, where it will fertilize with the sperm if you have had unprotected sex in your fertile period of your cycle. This fertilized egg travels to the uterus and plants itself on the wall. This is called implantation. Implantation is the implanting of the fertilized egg or embryo or even called a blastocyst on to the uterine wall. It takes place about 2-3 weeks after ovulation. Soon after fertilization, symptoms also occur about 2-3 weeks after ovulation.
