dilation and curettage Explanation: ... for retained products of conception https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/21512-retaine... Retained products of conception (RPOC) refers to tissue that remains in your uterus (womb) after a pregnancy ends. D&C is a minor surgical procedure to remove the contents of the uterus. Your healthcare provider dilates (opens) your cervix and uses a curette (small surgical tool) or suction to remove tissue. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 54 mins (2022-09-04 02:41:50 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Looks like it's "dilatation" Australian English - https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/dilatation-and-curettage -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 11 hrs (2022-09-04 13:15:44 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- From the medical coding standpoint, I think it's an issue of how much time has passed, and even the coders aren't sure where the dividing line is. I found this: https://www.aapc.com/discuss/threads/59400-59160-on-same-dat... Question: If a patient came back eight weeks after she delivered for dilation and curettage for retained products of conception, should we use 59160? Or can we only use this code right after delivery (during the same episode of care)? Answer: At eight weeks, you should report 58120 (Dilation and curettage, diagnostic and/or therapeutic [nonobstetrical]) because the cervix is closed, and the patient will need dilation. Code 59160 (Curettage, postpartum) is more relevant after delivery and during the same episode of care while the cervix is still dilated. |
