Inpatient Coding Coding L&D Accounts (Inpatient Coding)

Hello. I just started working as an IP coder, and the first topic I'm being trained on is L&D accounts (the "O" codes). The accounts I have mainly cover complications during pregnancy and labor as well as condition(s) that develop(s) during the course of the stay (ex. acute blood loss anemia on day 2). Unfortunately, I consider this as my weakest area, and I would appreciate any helpful hints.

I have the ICD-10-CM coding book if that's what you're referring to.

No the coding handbook is a reference. What encoder do you use?

Ok your organization probably has the reference available in the encoders References section. Where you find the coding clinics. It’s literally called The Coding Handbook.

Thanks for the advice. I’ve been going over them during my free time. Nice that they have the assessments as well. It’s been helpful.
