The obstetrics section is one of 16 sections in ICD-10-PCS and is categorized as one of the nine medical and surgical-related procedure sections. Similar to other ICD-10-PCS codes, obstetric procedure codes are seven characters in length with each of the seven characters representing an aspect of the procedure. The diagram above illustrates the seven characters of a code from the obstetrics section.
Because certain obstetric conditions or complications occur during certain trimesters, not all conditions include codes for all three trimesters.
The assignment of the final character for trimester is based on the trimester for the current admission or encounter. This guideline applies to the assignment of trimester for pre-existing conditions as well as those that develop during or are due to the pregnancy.
Similar to ICD-9-CM, ICD-10-CM obstetric codes in chapter 15 have sequencing priority over codes from other chapters. Additional codes from other chapters may be used in addition to chapter 15 codes to further specify conditions.
They are defined as follows: First trimester: less than 14 weeks 0 days. Second trimester: 14 weeks 0 days to less than 28 weeks 0 days. Third trimester: 28 weeks 0 days until delivery.
Outcome of delivery codes (Z37.0–Z37.9) are intended for use as an additional code to identify the outcome of delivery on the mother’s records. These codes are not to be used on subsequent records or on the newborn record.
