Assign code O80, Encounter for full-term uncomplicated delivery, as the principal diagnosis. Codes Z3A. 40, 40 weeks of gestation of pregnancy, and Z37. 0, Single live born, should be assigned to describe weeks of gestation and the outcome of the delivery.
As a result, the simple ICD-9 procedure code for labor induction, 73.4 (“Medical Induction of Labor”), has been replaced with the rather generic and opaque ICD-10-PCS procedure code: 3E033VJ (“Introduction of other hormone into peripheral vein, percutaneous approach”).

Safety glasses and goggles that have passed impact testing required by ANSI Standard Z87. 1 are stamped “Z87.” Make sure your eye protection has this marking! “Z87+” indicates that the eyewear is even more protective, having passed more stringent high-velocity impact testing.
The ANSI Z87. 1 certification provides a system organized based on encountered hazards. With this standard, the choice of safety eyewear revolves around what best represents the protection needed for the specific hazards encountered in the workplace. The most common hazards are: Blunt impact.
Z87 impact testing The first marking you'll likely see on your eyewear is “Z87” or “Z87+”. This is the ANSI standard for impact which helps ensure safety eyewear provides workers with the needed protection from impact hazards. For safety eyewear to pass the basic Z87 standard, it must pass the ball drop test.
Z87+ For work where there is, or may be, impact hazards your safety glasses must be stamped with a Z87+ marking. The Z87+ marking symbolizes that the glasses are Z87. 1 compliant and pass the remaining 3 tests.
Obstetric cases require diagnosis codes from chapter 15 of ICD-10-CM, “Pregnancy, Childbirth, and the Puerperium.” It includes categories O00–O9A arranged in the following blocks:
If a delivery occurs during an admission and there is an “in childbirth” option for the obstetric complication being coded, the “in childbirth” code should be assigned. If the complication occurs after delivery , the “in puerperium” code should be assigned if available.
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.
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.
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.
Complications following (induced) termination of pregnancy (Code range- O04.5 – O04.89) – This includes the complications followed by abortions that are induced intentionally.
The chapter 15- Pregnancy, Childbirth, and the Puerperium codes can be used only to code the maternal records and never the newborn records.
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.
A high-risk pregnancy is a threat to the health and the life of the mother and the fetus.
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.
The conventions for the ICD-10-CM are the general rules for use of the classification independent of the guidelines. These conventions are incorporated within the Alphabetic Index and Tabular List of the ICD-10-CM as instructional notes.
When assigning a chapter 15 code for sepsis complicating abortion, pregnancy, childbirth, and the puerperium, a code for the specific type of infection should be assigned as an additional diagnosis. If severe sepsis is present, a code from subcategory R65.2, Severe sepsis, and code(s) for associated organ dysfunction(s) should also be assigned as additional diagnoses.
More than one external cause code is required to fully describe the external cause of an illness or injury. The assignment of external cause codes should be sequenced in the following priority:
Code assignment is based on the provider’s documentation of the relationship between the condition and the care or procedure, unless otherwise instructed by the classification. The guideline extends to any complications of care, regardless of the chapter the code is located in. It is important to note that not all conditions that occur during or following medical care or surgery are classified as complications. There must be a cause-and-effect relationship between the care provided and the condition, and an indication in the documentation that it is a complication. Query the provider for clarification, if the complication is not clearly documented.
The word “with” or “in” should be interpreted to mean “associated with” or “due to” when it appears in a code title, the Alphabetic Index (either under a main term or subterm), or an instructional note in the Tabular List. The classification presumes a causal relationship between the two conditions linked by these terms in the Alphabetic Index or Tabular List. These conditions should be coded as related even in the absence of provider documentation explicitly linking them, unless the documentation clearly states the conditions are unrelated or when another guideline exists that specifically requires a documented linkage between two conditions (e.g., sepsis guideline for “acute organ dysfunction that is not clearly associated with the sepsis”).For conditions not specifically linked by these relational terms in the classification or when a guideline requires that a linkage between two conditions be explicitly documented, provider documentation must link the conditions in order to code them as related.
Counseling Z codes are used when a patient or family member receives assistance in the aftermath of an illness or injury, or when support is required in coping with family or social problems.
code from subcategory O9A.2, Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes complicating pregnancy, childbirth, and the puerperium, should be sequenced first, followed by the appropriate injury, poisoning, toxic effect, adverse effect or underdosing code, and then the additional code(s) that specifies the condition caused by the poisoning, toxic effect, adverse effect or underdosing.
The emergency department (ED) is a fast-paced environment that can present documentation and cases that can lead to unique coding and billing challenges. JustCoding’s Emergency Department Coding Handbook will help coders by clearly explaining how to interpret CPT® codes and guidelines in order to report procedures accurately.
Because the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has not created any national emergency department (ED) evaluation and management (E/M) guidelines, providers must create their own cri-teria for each visit level. CMS has developed a list of 11 criteria that it uses when auditing facility E/M criteria. According to CMS, E/M guidelines should do the following:
In the ED, undercoding is more of a problem than overcoding. It’s common for the nurses who design the criteria not to fully under-stand the coding rules and other elements that go into the orders that they get from their physicians. Likewise, the coder designing the criteria may have good background in the clinical ED piece of the puzzle, but he or she may not understand some of the triggers for these services. In either case, lack of information can lead to undercoding.
The final character guideline further states that whenever a delivery occurs during the current admission, and there is an "in childbirth " option for the obstetric complication being coded , the "in childbirth" code should be assigned.
In this situation, the trimester character for the antepartum complication code should be assigned based on the trimester when the complication developed, not the trimester of discharge. If the condition developed prior to the current admission/encounter or represents a pre-existing condition, the trimester character for the trimester at the time of the admission/encounter should be assigned.
O11.1, Pre-existing hypertension with pre-eclampsia, first trimester
This new ICD-10-CM guideline for the final character indicates that many of the Chapter 15 codes specify the trimester of the pregnancy. A note at the beginning of Chapter 15 defines the timeframes for the three trimesters. The assignment of the final character for trimester is based on either the provider's documentation of the trimester—or the number of weeks of gestation—for the current admission/encounter.

The ICD-10-CM coding guideline for tobacco use states that codes from subcategory O99.33, Smoking (tobacco) complicating pregnancy, childbirth, and the puerperium, should be assigned for any pregnancy case when a mother uses any type of tobacco product during the pregnancy or postpartum. A secondary code from category F17, Nicotine dependence, should also be assigned to identify the type of nicotine dependence.
The ICD-10-CM coding guideline for alcohol use states that codes from subcategory O99.31, Alcohol use complicating pregnancy, childbirth, and the puerperium, should be assigned for any pregnancy case when a mother uses alcohol during the pregnancy or postpartum. A secondary code from category F10, Alcohol related disorders, is also assigned to identify manifestations of the alcohol use.
