Hi Rachel,
Though there is an ICD-10 code for abnormal screening of the mother, a BPP is not a screening test and is done for one or more specific indications. I would attach the ICD-10 codes for that/those indication(s) to the billing for the BPP.
Hope this helps answer your question.

Subject: Abnormal BPP due to breathing
Good morning. I was wondering what is the best diagnosis code to use when a patient has a BPP of 6/8 due to breathing not observed.
