When you are pregnant, a fluid-filled bag called the amniotic sac surrounds and protects the fetus. When a hole or tear forms in the sac, it's called a rupture of the membranes. Most women describe this by saying their "water broke." Your membranes can break by themselves.
O42.9ICD-10 | Premature rupture of membranes, unspecified as to length of time between rupture and onset of labor (O42. 9)
ICD-10-CM Code for Preterm premature rupture of membranes, unspecified as to length of time between rupture and onset of labor, unspecified trimester O42. 919.
ICD-10-CM Code for Newborn affected by premature rupture of membranes P01. 1.
O42.00Premature rupture of membranes, onset of labor within 24 hours of rupture, unspecified weeks of gestation. O42. 00 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
Prolonged rupture of membranes is arbitrarily defined as rupture of membranes for greater than 18 hours. If asymptomatic, the infant should be observed in the hospital for 48 hours. Consider obtaining a screening CBC with differential at birth and at a minimum of 6- 12 hrs of life.
Premature rupture of membranes (PROM) is a rupture (breaking open) of the membranes (amniotic sac) before labor begins. If PROM occurs before 37 weeks of pregnancy, it is called preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM). PROM occurs in about 8 to 10 percent of all pregnancies.
O42Spontaneous tearing of the membranes surrounding the fetus any time before the onset of obstetric labor. Preterm prom is membrane rupture before 37 weeks of gestation.
PROM is defined as rupture of membranes > 1 hour prior to the onset of labour occurring ≥ 37 weeks gestation. P-PROM is rupture of the amniotic sac < 37 weeks gestation. Diagnosis of membrane rupture is usually from maternal history and sterile speculum examination.

Overview. The term "fetal macrosomia" is used to describe a newborn who's much larger than average. A baby who is diagnosed as having fetal macrosomia weighs more than 8 pounds, 13 ounces (4,000 grams), regardless of his or her gestational age. About 9% of babies worldwide weigh more than 8 pounds, 13 ounces.May 29, 2020
ICD-10 code Z36. 88 for Encounter for antenatal screening for fetal macrosomia is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
A: Sepsis due to COVID-19 in pregnancy requires 2 O codes. Assign the following codes: 1 81-, Other maternal infectious and parasitic diseases complicating pregnancy, childbirth, and the puerperium 2 89, Other specified sepsis 3 512, Diseases of the respiratory system complicating pregnancy, childbirth, and the puerperium 4 1, COVID-19
A: CPT defines “chronic” as follows: Stable, chronic illness: A problem with an expected duration of at least one year or until the death of the patient.
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.
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.
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.
