Similar to the use of 650 in ICD-9-CM, code O80 is always the principal diagnosis and is not to be used with any other code from chapter 15. 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.
This is the American ICD-10-CM version of Z37 - other international versions of ICD-10 Z37 may differ. This category is intended for use as an additional code to identify the outcome of delivery on the mother's record. It is not for use on the newborn record.
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).

In such case, if the rule/condition is confirmed in the final impression we can code it as Primary dx, but if the rule/out condition is not confirmed then we have to report suspected or rule/out diagnosis ICD 10 code Z03. 89 as primary dx.

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”).

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: O00–O08, Pregnancy with abortive outcome. O09, Supervision of high-risk pregnancy.
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).
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):
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.

When an Excludes2 note appears under a code it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together. A “code also” note instructs that two codes may be required to fully describe a condition, but this note does not provide sequencing direction. The sequencing depends on the circumstances of the encounter.
Z37.9 is exempt from POA reporting ( Present On Admission).

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.
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.

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.
Codes from this category also require either a fifth or sixth character specifying the trimester. Code O30.0, Twin pregnancy, is further classified by whether the twin pregnancy is monoamniotic/monochorionic, conjoined twins, other twin pregnancy, or unspecified twin pregnancy.
