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.
Is it possible to get pregnant immediately after having unprotected sex? Implantation is the process by which a fertilized ovum (egg) implants into the uterine wall to obtain oxygen and nutrients from the mother. This usually occurs between 6 and 8 days after conception. Conception itself can occur anywhere between a few hours and 5 days after intercourse. This is because sperm can live inside your uterus and fallopian tubes for up to 5 days. If during that period you ovulate (release and egg from your ovary), then the sperm can come into contact with the ovum to make an embryo. From this point on, the embryo must travel down the fallopian tube to implant in the uterus.
