What does this mean??

 I was looking at my online medical record and it has that i have the following

pregnancy with poor reproduction HX.. what the freak is that??

HX is the medical abbreviation for "history".  Does that help?

It's a High Risk diagnosis code. In order to bill for you seeing a high risk OB, certain codes must be used.

For example........If a patient had pre-eclampsia in a previous pregnancy but has not demonstrated it in the current pregnancy, a code V23.4 would be used.
 

 OMG!! I feel like i total idiot jo!! I went to college for medical billing!! I know HX. But i was not sure about the rest. LOL.. Thank you so much!!

No problemo! I hate billing and coding, but with me being the only one that works with the one Doc, I have to deal with it. I room patients, answer phones, fill scripts, schedule, and bill.......lol....so I just looked it up in the ICD-9.

Hijack...so oh wise one,,,question
Is there a difference in coding that would possibly allow for the insurance to pay for theHysterosalpingogram ....i.e. coding as treatment versus diagnosis....since I have the PCOS...when the fertility doc did it last time it was not covered even though it was to diagnosis bloackage issues...guess because it was a fertiltiy doc and TTC they picked up on that...but wondering if my regular ob/gyn does it...more as a treatment for the pcos and all the cysts I currently have if they would cover it...make sense...I also took courses in billing but not my cup of te!

Means "pregnant with a tough history of getting there"  :-)  I've worked for an HMO for years and was a medical coder.  :-)

See that is REALLY weird!! I have never had any problem conceiving, my only problem was my son was premie and gestional diabetes. I tried 3 times to get pregnant and I have  a 9 yr old 4.5 yr old and now im pregnant. And technically we werent even trying. lol

Tanya, having a premie will get you the V23.41- Pregnancy with history of pre-term labor.

(I'm a Medical Records Coder at a large suburban Philadelphia hospital, I deal with ICD-9 all day long.)

 ok that makes more sense, but be pregnant pregnant having a hard time getting there makes no sense.  PRemie yes. I will take it. lol
