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.
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.
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.
Pruritic urticarial papules and plaques of pregnancy (PUPPP) – chronic hives-like rash seen during pregnancy causing severe pruritus. Cervical shortening – Shortening of the length of the uterine cervix which increases the risk of preterm labor.
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.
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.
Other maternal disorders predominantly related to pregnancy (O20-O29) Hemorrhage in early pregnancy (O20) Excessive vomiting in pregnancy (O21) Venous complications and hemorrhoids in pregna ncy (O22) Infections of genitourinary tract in pregnancy (O23) Diabetes in pregnancy, childbirth, and the puerperium (O24)
2nd trimester- 14 weeks 0 days to less than 28 weeks 0 days. 3rd trimester- 28 weeks 0 days until delivery. Use additional code from category Z3A, Weeks of gestation, to identify the specific week of the pregnancy, if known.
Drinking alcohol. There is no known amount of alcohol that is safe for a woman to drink during pregnancy. If you drink alcohol when you are pregnant, your child could be born with lifelong fetal alcohol syndrome disorders (FASD). Children with FASD can have a mix of physical, behavioral, and learning problems.
If you smoke, use alcohol or take illegal drugs, so does your unborn baby. Tobacco. Smoking during pregnancy passes nicotine, carbon monoxide, and other harmful chemicals to your baby. This could cause many problems for your unborn baby's development.
O99.320 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of drug use complicating pregnancy, unspecified trimester. The code O99.320 is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.#N#The ICD-10-CM code O99.320 might also be used to specify conditions or terms like drug dependence during pregnancy - baby delivered, drug dependence during pregnancy - baby not yet delivered, drug dependence during pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium, drug dependence in mother complicating pregnancy, childbirth and/or puerperium, maternal drug exposure , maternal drug exposure, etc.#N#The code O99.320 is applicable to female patients aged 12 through 55 years inclusive. It is clinically and virtually impossible to use this code on a non-female patient outside the stated age range.#N#Unspecified diagnosis codes like O99.320 are acceptable when clinical information is unknown or not available about a particular condition. Although a more specific code is preferable, unspecified codes should be used when such codes most accurately reflect what is known about a patient's condition. Specific diagnosis codes should not be used if not supported by the patient's medical record.
This could cause many problems for your unborn baby's development. It raises the risk of your baby being born too small, too early, or with birth defects. Smoking can also affect babies after they are born.
It raises the risk of your baby being born too small, too early, or with birth defects. Smoking can also affect babies after they are born. Your baby would be more likely to develop diseases such as asthma and obesity. There is also a higher risk of dying from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
The General Equivalency Mapping (GEM) crosswalk indicates an approximate mapping between the ICD-10 code O99.320 its ICD-9 equivalent. The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 code and the ICD-9 code and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.
The World Health Organization (WHO) notes, “Use of alcohol, illicit drugs and other psychoactive substances during pregnancy can lead to multiple health and social problems for both mother and child, including miscarriage, stillbirth, low birthweight, prematurity, physical malformations and neurological damage.”
Code P96.1 Neonatal withdrawal symptoms from maternal use of drugs of addiction includes the diagnoses “drug withdrawal syndrome in infant of dependent mother” and “neonatal abstinence syndrome” (NAS). There is an Excludes 1 note “reactions and intoxications from maternal opiates and tranquilizers administered during labor and delivery (P04.0).”
