Primary inadequate contractions
For cases that go on to have a Cesarean section the most responsible diagnosis is the indication for the Cesarean section — the underlying maternal or fetal condition. In this case, it is the preeclampsia. The diagnosis code for failed induction of labor is captured as diagnosis type (1). 4.9.1 Case study 1 O75.881 (M)
Diagnosis Index entries containing back-references to O66.40: Delivery (childbirth) (labor) cesarean (for) failed trial of labor NOS O66.40. complicated O75.9 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code O75.9 Failure, failed trial of labor (with subsequent cesarean delivery) O66.40
ICD 10 Failure to Progress. I would use O66.9 for failure to progress and either O62.0 (primary) or O62.1 (secondary) for failure to descend.
The provider did a c-section and noted failure to descend, fetal intolerance of labor and was also noted to have a very high fetal station. I am struggling to find a Dx code for this. Can anyone help? Thanks! You might look at codes 661.01 which is arrest of descent delivered and our OB's use 659.71 for fetal distress or intolerance of labor.
ICD-10 code O61. 9 for Failed induction of labor, unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium .
As a result the simple ICD-9-CM 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”).

Encounter for full-term uncomplicated delivery O80 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 O80 became effective on October 1, 2021.
ICD-10 code W18. 30XA for Fall on same level, unspecified, initial encounter is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Other external causes of accidental injury .
External cause codes identify the cause of an injury or health condition, the intent (accidental or intentional), the place where the incident occurred, the activity of the patient at the time of the incident, and the patient's status (such as civilian or military).
Code is only used for diagnoses related to pregnancy. O66.40 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of failed trial of labor, unspecified. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
Obstructed labour, also known as labour dystocia, is when, even though the uterus is contracting normally, the baby does not exit the pelvis during childbirth due to being physically blocked. Complications for the baby include not getting enough oxygen which may result in death.
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.
Morbidly adherent placenta (Placenta accrete, Placenta increta, Placenta percreta) Placental infarction. Placenta previa (Code range O44.00- O44.53)- Condition in which the placenta is implanted in the lower parts of the uterus.
Galactorrhea. Other obstetric conditions, not elsewhere classified (Code range O94-O9A) Sequelae (Late effects) of complication of pregnancy, childbirth, and the puerperium (O94)- Includes conditions or late effects that may occur any time after the puerperium.
HELLP (hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, low platelet count) syndrome – (Code range O14.20- O14.25) – A very rare condition seen in pregnant patients mostly with pre-eclampsia usually before the 37 th week of pregnancy.
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.
Missed abortion (O02.1)- The retention of a non-viable fetus along with the placenta and embryonic tissues inside the uterus without the body recognizing the loss of pregnancy and therefore failing to naturally expel the non-viable contents like in spontaneous abortion.
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.
If there is no indication (or more precisely, no medical indication –“OB going on vacation next week” probably isn’t really a legitimate indication), “O82, Encounter for cesarean delivery without indication” is the code.
There are O codes indicating that a condition in any other body system is impacting the pregnancy. If the rest of Chapter 15 doesn’t have a specific code, numerous “obstetric conditions not elsewhere classified which are complicating pregnancy, childbirth, and the puerperium” can be found in O94-O9A.
For cesarean sections, you choose either the condition that resulted in the performance of the cesarean or the reason the patient was admitted, even if it was unrelated to the condition resulting in the cesarean. Cesareans warrant a deeper dive in general.
In that case, you only use Z39.0, Encounter for care and examination of mother immediately after delivery, since she didn’t actually deliver during this admission and wasn’t technically pregnant during this admission.
She was a physician advisor of a large multi-hospital system for four years before transitioning to independent consulting in July 2016. Her passion is educating CDI specialists, coders, and healthcare providers with engaging, case-based presentations on documentation, CDI, and denials management topics. She has written numerous articles and serves as the co-host of Talk Ten Tuesdays, a weekly national podcast. Dr. Remer is a member of the ICD10monitor editorial board, a former member of the ACDIS Advisory Board, and the board of directors of the American College of Physician Advisors.
The primary diagnosis (PD) is always an “O” (for obstetrics) code. If she came in for an “unrelated” condition, there should be an O code – as a physician, I cannot recall a single patient who went on to deliver during an admission whose PD was not a complication of (or complicating) the pregnancy.
The process of labor and delivery is divided into generally-recognized stages. Each of these stages has certain characteristics that can help evaluate whether labor is progressing normally. These stages include: 1 First stage of labor: Begins at the onset of labor until the mother’s cervix is fully dilated 2 Second stage of labor: Begins when the mother’s cervix is fully dilated until the baby is delivered 3 Third stage of labor: Begins when the baby is delivered until the placenta is delivered 4 Some researchers say there is a fourth stage of labor defined as the hour after the delivery of the placenta, but often this is lumped in with the third stage
Management of Arrested Labor. The management of arrested labor is controversial. Friedman recommends C-section after 2 hours of arrested labor, while other researchers suggest waiting a minimum of 4 hours, with Pitocin (synthetic oxytocin) augmentation, before moving on to a C-section.
First stage of labor: Begins at the onset of labor until the mother’s cervix is fully dilated. Second stage of labor: Begins when the mother’s cervix is fully dilated until the baby is delivered. Third stage of labor: Begins when the baby is delivered until the placenta is delivered. Some researchers say there is a fourth stage ...
Emmanuel Friedman, a protracted or dysfunctional latent phase occurs when a mother experiences regular contractions that should cause cervical dilatation for more than 20 hours (for women who have not had a baby before), or 14 hours (for women who have).
Failure to progress in labor is a situation in which labor stalls out or stops. This can relate to the cervix not dilating enough, the baby’s head not engaging with the mother’s pelvis, differences between the size of the baby’s head and mother’s pelvis, or with contractions not being sufficiently strong or frequent to push the baby out, ...
The median duration of the second stage of labor is about 50 minutes for women who haven’t had a baby before, and about 20 minutes for those who have.
One of the most influential labor curves, the Friedman curve, has been used for upwards of 50 years for helping OB/GYNs monitor the labor process and diagnose potential problems during different stages of labor.
Manual rotation . The purpose of manual rotation is the same as for forceps rotation: to turn the fetal head to an occiput anterior position, thus making the presenting diameter of the fetal head smaller.
Postpartum bleeding is controlled by the contraction and retraction of myometrial fibres. This causes the blood vessels to constrict and cut off flow to the placental site. Uterine atony exists when the myometrium cannot contract. Uterine atony is the most common cause of PPH (50%).
Bilateral internal iliac artery ligation is the surgical method most often used to control severe postpartum bleeding. Exposure can be difficult and failure rates can range as high as 57%, depending on the skill of the operator, the cause of the hemorrhage and the patient’s condition before ligation is attempted.
A placenta that directly adheres to the myometrium without an intervening decidual layer is termed “placenta accreta.”. • If postpartum hemorrhage is due to a morbidly adherent placenta, that is placenta accreta, placenta increta or placenta percreta, a code from subcategory O43.2– . Morbidly adherent placenta.
Isthmus. — The small constricted region of the uterus lying above the internal os of the cervix. Cervix. — A canal, about 2.5 cm in length, with an internal os in the upper portion (separates the cervix from the uterine cavity) and an external os in the lower portion (closes off the cervix from the vagina).
The purpose of the finger in the mouth is not for traction but to encourage and maintain flexion.
It should not be confused with pain, anxiety or shock. Signs of maternal exhaustion include tachycardia, pyrexia and ketonuria. Ketonuria is an extremely acidic condition and may cause the baby ’s pH to turn acidic as well. When this happens, the blood carries less oxygen and can lead to fetal distress due to hypoxia.
