ICD-10 Clinic - Book 9: Pregnancy and Childbirth

The obstetric chapter behaves unlike any other, and this book teaches its three special powers first, because until you know them no maternity record can be coded safely: sequencing priority over every other chapter, maternal records only, and a trimester on almost every code. It covers the exact boundaries of the three trimesters, the weeks of gestation codes, the character that identifies which fetus is affected, and the difference between a normal pregnancy and a high risk one. Then the conditions themselves: hypertension in pregnancy, diabetes in pregnancy and the code you must never pair with gestational diabetes, the outcome of delivery, and the one code that must stand entirely alone. Fifteen exercises with worked answers.

Twenty-five A4 pages, in full colour. Written in short sentences and plain English, for readers whose first language is not English and clearer for everyone else because of it.

Every ICD-10-CM code in this book was verified against the official 2026 code set before the file was made. Instant PDF download. By M.R. Sterling.
