2019 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code P02.78 Newborn affected by other conditions from chorioamnionitis 2019 - New Code Billable/Specific Code Code on Newborn Record ICD-10-CM Coding Rules P02.78 should be used on the newborn record - not on the maternal record.
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. For delivery admissions, the principal diagnosis is the condition that prompted the admission.
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.
P02.7 should not be used for reimbursement purposes as there are multiple codes below it that contain a greater level of detail. ICD-10-CM P02.7 is a new 2019 ICD-10-CM code that became effective on October 1, 2018.
ICD-10 code O41. 12 for Chorioamnionitis is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium .
Single liveborn infant, delivered vaginallyICD-10 code Z38. 00 for Single liveborn infant, delivered vaginally is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
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): Vaginal delivery at full term.
Pregnant state, incidental1 Pregnant state, incidental.
Medical Definition of live-born : born alive — compare stillborn.
Definitions of liveborn infant. infant who shows signs of life after birth. Antonyms: stillborn infant. infant who shows no signs of life after birth.
Only use code 59510 if you were the physician who provided the antepartum and postpartum care. included in the Global CPT codes of 59400 (Vaginal delivery) or 59510 (Cesarean delivery). the Global CPT codes of 59400 (Vaginal delivery) or 59510 (Cesarean delivery).
Spontaneous vaginal delivery ( SVD ) is one which occurs when a pregnant woman goes into labor without the use of drugs or other techniques to induce labor and she delivers her baby through the vagina (birth canal) without forceps, vacuum extraction or a cesarean section.
Postpartum Care: Routine postpartum visits should be reported using either CPT Code 59430 for routine postpartum care or CPTII Code 0503F. Use ICD-10-CM diagnosis code Z39. 2 with both codes to indicate that the service is for a routine postpartum visit.
Code Z21 is used for patients who are asymptomatic, meaning they are HIV positive but have never had an HIV-related condition. Once that patient experiences an HIV-related condition, the Z21 code is no longer appropriate.
The only exception to this is if a pregnant woman is seen for an unrelated condition. In such cases, code Z33. 1 Pregnant State, Incidental should be used after the primary reason for the visit.
Another difference is the number of codes: ICD-10-CM has 68,000 codes, while ICD-10-PCS has 87,000 codes.
Newborn affected by other conditions from chorioamnionitis 1 P02.78 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. 2 The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM P02.78 became effective on October 1, 2020. 3 This is the American ICD-10-CM version of P02.78 - other international versions of ICD-10 P02.78 may differ.
P02.78 should be used on the newborn record - not on the maternal record. These codes are for use when the listed maternal conditions are specified as the cause of confirmed morbidity or potential morbidity which have their origin in the perinatal period (before birth through the first 28 days after birth).
The notes at the beginning of Chapter 15 Pregnancy, Childbirth and the Puerperium indicate that in addition to the Chapter 15 codes, the coder should assign a code from category Z3A, Weeks of gestation, to identify the specific week of the pregnancy, if known. The guidelines provide further direction, ...
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.
For delivery admissions, the principal diagnosis is the condition that prompted the admission. If multiple conditions prompted the admission, the condition most related to the delivery is the principal diagnosis (ICD-10-CM Coding Guideline I.C.15.b.4).
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
Chorioamnionitis also known as intra-amniotic infection (IAI) is an inflammation of the fetal membranes (amnion and chorion) due to a bacterial infection. It typically results from bacteria ascending into the uterus from the vagina and is most often associated with prolonged labor.
Inclusion Terms are a list of concepts for which a specific code is used. The list of Inclusion Terms is useful for determining the correct code in some cases, but the list is not necessarily exhaustive.

This is the official exact match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that in all cases where the ICD9 code 762.7 was previously used, P02.7 is the appropriate modern ICD10 code.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
If the patient is admitted with a pregnancy complication which necessitated a Cesarean delivery, the code for the complication should be sequenced first. But if the reason for admission was different from the reason for the C-section, the reason for the admission will be sequenced first.
