OB question
We have a 38 week pregnancy vomiting 'black tar' needing an EGD for evaluation but too high risk to perform due to pregnancy.
Admitted for induction/delivery preEGD. GI bleed and esophagitis are documented. The patient was induced and delivered a healthy infant.
How would this be coded? The EGD was not done this admission.
Thanks for the thoughts.
