OBGYN
Hi,
We met today with our OBGYN department for a high level DRG discussion with ICD-9-->ICD-10 information. Our inpt coders had requested we discuss with the department the documentation around placement of Intrauterine Pressure Catheters (IUPC) and Fetal Scalp Electrodes (FSE).
When you have a moment can you verify with your coding teams if they code these two procedures? If so do you know if your providers follow Universal Protocol? Also if you do code the procedures how do you see it documented?
Thanks so much for your time!
