Effective October 1, 2016, the guideline for “Prenatal outpatient visits for high-risk patients” has been replaced with the title of “Supervision of High-Risk Pregnancy,” and includes additional guidance. Chapter 15 of ICD-10-CM contains codes pertaining to Pregnancy, Childbirth and the Puerpernium (O00-O9A):
O09.90 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. Short description: Supervision of high risk pregnancy, unsp, unsp trimester. The 2019 edition of ICD-10-CM O09.90 became effective on October 1, 2018.
General rules to be followed while coding pregnancy ICD 10 visits- The chapter 15- Pregnancy, Childbirth, and the Puerperium codes can be used only to code the maternal records and never the newborn records. Any complications or conditions arising due to pregnancy, childbirth or puerperium should be coded using the codes from this chapter.
Coding encounters for normal versus high risk pregnancies- Encounter for a routine visit in case of a normal pregnancy is coded with the Z34 category code from chapter 22 code and this should not be used with the chapter 15 codes. Supervision of high-risk pregnancy is coded with codes from the category O09.
O09. 90 - Supervision of high risk pregnancy, unspecified, unspecified trimester. ICD-10-CM.

The patient's primary diagnostic code is the most important. Assuming the patient's primary diagnostic code is Z76. 89, look in the list below to see which MDC's "Assignment of Diagnosis Codes" is first.
For high-risk and complications of pregnancy, use the code from Chapter 15, another code for pre-existing conditions, if any, and the weeks of gestation code. It would seem that if your Medicaid program wants the visits billed as they happen, it is more likely that you'll be paid.
If you do have a high-risk pregnancy, you may need special monitoring throughout your pregnancy. Tests to monitor your health and the health of your unborn baby may include: Blood and urine testing to check for genetic conditions or certain birth defects in your baby.

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.
If the provider has documented that the pregnancy is incidental to the visit, which means that the reason for the visit was not pregnancy related and the provider did not care for the pregnancy, the code to be used is Z33.1, Pregnant state, incidental and not the chapter 15 codes.
