Last month, we discussed OB/GYN coding as part of our ICD-10 Quick Tips blog series.  This week, we will continue our discussion of OB/GYN coding and focus on coding of multiple gestations.  In our past life (ICD-9!) we did not have too many options to capture this data, but ICD-10 certainly took care of that for us!  We now have new coding concepts to address and apply, so let’s take a look at one of the biggest changes involving multiple gestation coding.  Once again, I want to start with some basic information which is critical for understanding this concept of coding.
