Instead, use the following codes:
Portal hypertension. K76.6 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM K76.6 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD- 10-CM version of K76.6 - other international versions of ICD- 10 K76.6 may differ.
I10 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of essential (primary) hypertension. The code I10 is valid during the fiscal year 2022 from October 01, 2021 through September 30, 2022 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.
Gestational [pregnancy-induced] hypertension without significant proteinuria, third trimester. O13. 3 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM O13.
Gestational hypertension is diagnosed when blood pressure readings are higher than 140/90 mm Hg in a woman who had normal blood pressure prior to 20 weeks and has no proteinuria (excess protein in the urine). Preeclampsia is diagnosed when a woman with gestational hypertension also has increased protein in her urine.
Chronic hypertension during pregnancy can be classified as primary (90%) and secondary (10%) hypertension [2]. The causes of secondary hypertension in pregnancy include chronic kidney disease, renovascular hypertension, pheochromocytoma, primary aldosteronism and Cushing's syndrome [3].
Hypertensive disorders during pregnancy are classified into 4 categories, as recommended by the National High Blood Pressure Education Program Working Group on High Blood Pressure in Pregnancy: 1) chronic hypertension, 2) preeclampsia-eclampsia, 3) preeclampsia superimposed on chronic hypertension, and 4) gestational ...
Chronic Hypertension– Women who have high blood pressure (over 140/90) before pregnancy, early in pregnancy (before 20 weeks), or continue to have it after delivery. Gestational Hypertension– High blood pressure that develops after week 20 in pregnancy and goes away after delivery.
The cause of gestational hypertension is unknown. Some conditions may increase the risk of developing the condition, including the following: Pre-existing hypertension (high blood pressure) Kidney disease.
Preeclampsia is new-onset or worsening of existing hypertension with proteinuria after 20 weeks gestation. Eclampsia is unexplained generalized seizures in patients with preeclampsia. Diagnosis is clinical and by urine protein measurement. Treatment is usually with IV magnesium sulfate and delivery at term.
Overview. Secondary high blood pressure (secondary hypertension) is high blood pressure that's caused by another medical condition. Secondary hypertension can be caused by conditions that affect your kidneys, arteries, heart or endocrine system. Secondary hypertension can also occur during pregnancy.
Pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) complicates 6-10% of pregnancies. It is defined as systolic blood pressure (SBP) >140 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) >90 mmHg. It is classified as mild (SBP 140-149 and DBP 90-99 mmHg), moderate (SBP 150-159 and DBP 100-109 mmHg) and severe (SBP ≥ 160 and DBP ≥ 110 mmHg).
Gestational [pregnancy-induced] hypertension without significant proteinuria O13- 1 A condition in pregnant women with elevated systolic (>140 mm hg) and diastolic (>90 mm hg) blood pressure on at least two occasions 6 h apart. Hypertension complicates 8-10% of all pregnancies, generally after 20 weeks of gestation. Gestational hypertension can be divided into several broad categories according to the complexity and associated symptoms, such as edema; proteinuria; seizures; abnormalities in blood coagulation and liver functions. 2 The most common complication of pregnancy. It may appear as chronic hypertension or preeclampsia. It may cause brain hemorrhage, pulmonary edema, abruptio placentae, gestational diabetes mellitus, renal failure, premature delivery and fetal growth abnormalities.

You’ll find the obstetrics codes for hypertensive disorders in the O10–O16 range of ICD-10-CM. Categories O10.- Pre-existing hypertension complicating pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium and O11. – Pre-existing hypertension with pre-eclampsia are both specific to pre-existing hypertension.
Term tips: Pre-existing means that the mother had the condition prior to pregnancy. If you like sources for your terms, you’ll find that definition of pre-existing in section I.C.15.c of the ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting (FY 2019).
Just like in non-obstetric cases, coding for pre-existing hypertensive heart disease and kidney disease in pregnancy requires some extra care because you have to identify the type of heart or kidney disease. Check out these subcategories and the “use additional code” notes that accompany them:
Hypertension is a common diagnosis, so a lot of specialties have to understand the rules for coding this condition. Obstetrics coders have to go one step further for hypertension and learn the specific rules for coding pre-existing hypertension in pregnancy, which is our focus today.
Pre-existing hypertension complicating pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (Code range- O10.011-O10.93) – A pregnancy complication arising due to the patient being hypertensive, having proteinuria (increased levels of protein in urine), hypertensive heart disease, hypertensive CKD or both prior to the pregnancy.
The Pregnancy ICD 10 code belong to the Chapter 15 – Pregnancy, Childbirth, and the Puerperium of the ICD-10-CM and these codes take sequencing priority over all the other chapter codes.
The chapter 15- Pregnancy, Childbirth, and the Puerperium codes can be used only to code the maternal records and never the newborn records.
A high-risk pregnancy is a threat to the health and the life of the mother and the fetus.
Complications following (induced) termination of pregnancy (Code range- O04.5 – O04.89) – This includes the complications followed by abortions that are induced intentionally.
Hydatidiform mole (Code range- O01.0 – O01.9) – Also known as molar pregnancy is an abnormal fertilized egg or a non-cancerous tumor of the placental tissue which mimics a normal pregnancy initially but later leads to vaginal bleeding along with severe nausea and vomiting.
Ectopic pregnancy (Code range- O00.00 – O00.91) – This is a potentially life-threatening condition in which the fertilize egg is implanted outside the uterus, usually in one of the fallopian tubes or occasionally in the abdomen or ovaries.
