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.
If the pregnancy is incidental to an encounter for a different reason, code Z33. 1 (pregnant state, incidental) is assigned in place of any Chapter 15 codes. When treating the pregnant member, the codes in Chapter 15 of the ICD-10 codes set are applied before codes from other chapters.
Pregnancy tests work by reacting to the amount of hCG in either your urine or blood. In a urine test, a piece of reactive paper detects the hCG. This might then show a plus sign, double vertical lines or even the word “pregnant.” Different tests will show a positive result in unique ways.

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.
Complications following (induced) termination of pregnancy (Code range- O04.5 – O04.89) – This includes the complications followed by abortions that are induced intentionally.
The chapter 15- Pregnancy, Childbirth, and the Puerperium codes can be used only to code the maternal records and never the newborn records.

Having a history of an in-utero procedure during previous pregnancy. Having social problems that is a threat to pregnancy.
