To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the four child codes of O43.21 that describes the diagnosis 'placenta accreta' in more detail. Placenta accreta occurs when all or part of the placenta attaches abnormally to the myometrium (the muscular layer of the uterine wall).

Placenta accreta. Abnormal placentation in which all or parts of the placenta are attached directly to the myometrium due to a complete or partial absence of decidua. It is associated with postpartum hemorrhage because of the failure of placental separation.
Placenta accreta is a serious pregnancy condition that occurs when the placenta grows too deeply into the uterine wall. Typically, the placenta detaches from the uterine wall after childbirth. With placenta accreta, part or all of the placenta remains attached. This can cause severe blood loss after delivery.
Myth: Placenta accreta and retained placenta always occur simultaneously. Fact: Most women with placenta accreta will have a retained placenta (a piece of the placenta that stays in the uterus after delivery). This occurs because the accreta has grown deeply into the uterus and will not separate.
Complete placenta previa with hemorrhage, unspecified trimester. O44. 10 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 O44.
This condition is thought to be caused by scarring on the lining of the uterus. Women who have had multiple cesarean sections, other placenta disorders or a history of tumor removal in the uterus are at higher risk of developing placenta accreta. This condition can be life-threatening.
Extreme cases of placenta accreta, in which the placenta begins to invade the bladder or nearby structures (known as placenta percreta) can present with bladder or pelvic pain, or occasionally with blood in the urine. During a normal delivery, the placenta detaches from the uterus during the last stage of labor.
“Dilation and curettage” (D&C) is a short surgical procedure that removes tissue from your uterus (womb). You may need this procedure if you have unexplained or abnormal bleeding, or if you have delivered a baby and placental tissue remains in your womb.
'Partial placenta previa' means the cervix is partly blocked, while 'complete placenta previa' means the entire cervix is obstructed. Some of the causes include scarring of the uterine lining (endometrium) and abnormalities of the placenta. Around one in every 200 pregnancies is affected.
Partial placenta previa with hemorrhage The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM O44. 3 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of O44. 3 - other international versions of ICD-10 O44.
Marginal previa, also called low-lying placenta, is when the placenta is close to the opening of the cervix but doesn't cover it. It may get better on its own before the baby is due.
Placenta accreta spectrum occurs in 3% of women diagnosed with placenta previa and no prior cesarean deliveries. In the setting of a placenta previa and one or more previous cesarean deliveries, the risk of placenta accreta spectrum is dramatically increased.
A: With placenta abruptio, the placenta partially or completely detaches itself from the uterine wall before delivery. With placenta previa, the placenta is located over or near the cervix, in the lower part of the uterus.
Typically, women with placenta accreta do not have any signs or symptoms, although you might experience bleeding during the second half of pregnancy. If you have had multiple C-sections or surgery on or around your uterus, you should see a doctor as early as possible to make sure you and your baby are safe.
