2 vessel cord/ velamentous cord insertion

In ICD 9 book for 2 vessel cord/ velamentous cord insertion/ umbilical cord

complication (663.83) for an antepartum condition the header states:

"Complications occurring 'Mainly' in the course of labor and delivery

(660-669)

A cross code of ICD 9 663.83 to ICD 10, it will give take you to the O69...


In ICD 10 book, for this cord complication the header states: "Labor and

delivery complicated by umblical cord complications."


Because ICD 10 states that it is for labor and delivery, are we not to use

that O69... code for antepartum conditions?


In ICD 9 the "mainly" gives us an out to use for antepartum.


If we cannot use it for antepartum, what code is appropriate for use for the

cord complication stated above?
