A newborn is, in colloquial use, an infant who is only hours, days, or up to one month old. In medical contexts, newborn or neonate (from Latin, neonatus, newborn) refers to an infant in the first 28 days after birth; the term applies to premature, full term, and postmature infants.
2022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code Z34. 00: Encounter for supervision of normal first pregnancy, unspecified trimester.
Trimester of pregnancy now replaces the episode of care (antepartum, postpartum or delivery) as a secondary axis of classification for this chapter. The trimester identifies the trimester of pregnancy in which the condition occurred, and is based on the trimester for the current admission.
If the signs and symptoms are associated routinely with a disease process, do not assign codes for them unless otherwise instructed by the classification. 3. If the signs and symptoms are not associated routinely with a disease process, go ahead and assign codes for them.

It is appropriate to assign an outcome of delivery code for admissions when elective termination of pregnancy results in a liveborn fetus ( ICD-10-CM Coding Guideline I.C.15.q) and code Z37.0 Single live birth , is the only outcome of delivery code for use with O80 (ICD-10-CM Coding Guideline I.C.15.n.3).
Code O80 Encounter for full term uncomplicated delivery is assigned as the principal diagnosis for delivery admissions that meet the following criteria (ICD-10-CM Coding Guideline I.C.15.n):
Code O80 Encounter for full term uncomplicated delivery is assigned as the principal diagnosis for delivery admissions that meet the following criteria (ICD-10-CM Coding Guideline I.C.15.n): 1 Vaginal delivery at full term 2 No accompanying instrumentation (episiotomy is ok) 3 Single, healthy infant 4 No unresolved antepartum complications 5 No complications of labor or delivery 6 No postpartum complications during the delivery admission
An assisted vaginal delivery is one that is accomplished with the assistance of instrumentation such as forceps or vacuum extraction. Just like a spontaneous delivery, this procedure is reported with a code from the Obstetrics section of ICD-10-PCS because it is a procedure performed on the fetus, which is considered a product of conception (see ICD-10-PCS coding guideline C1).
A spontaneous delivery is a vaginal delivery that is manually assisted with no use of instrumentation such as forceps or vacuum extraction. In ICD-10-PCS, the code for this procedure will be the same every time, 10E0XZZ. Looking at the table below you can see that there is only one option for the value for each character in the code.
This procedure is reported with a code from the Obstetrics section of ICD-10-PCS because it is a procedure performed on the fetus, which is considered a product of conception (see ICD-10-PCS coding guideline C1). The root operation for a spontaneous delivery is Delivery and the body part is Products of Conception. A delivery that only requires the physician to manually assist a spontaneous process takes place entirely outside the patient’s body, so the approach is External.
Coding of vaginal deliveries requires a minimum of 3 codes; a principal diagnosis code, an outcome of delivery code and a weeks of gestation code. Fortunately, there are guidelines and notes to provide direction in properly assigning these codes.
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.
Having a history of infertility, ectopic or molar pregnancies. Having a history of prior complicated pregnancy or pregnancies resulting in a pre-term delivery or a child with a genetic problem. Having a history of an in-utero procedure during previous pregnancy. Having social problems that is a threat to pregnancy.
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.
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:
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.
