As of October 2015, ICD-9 codes are no longer used for medical coding. Instead, use this equivalent ICD-10-CM code, which is an approximate match to ICD-9 code V23.49:
Billable codes are sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis.
The GEMs are the raw material from which providers, health information vendors and payers can derive specific applied mappings to meet their needs.
V23.49 is a legacy non-billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of pregnancy with other poor obstetric history. This code was replaced on September 30, 2015 by its ICD-10 equivalent.
Every pregnancy has some risk of problems. The causes can be conditions you already have or conditions you develop. They also include being pregnant with more than one baby, previous problem pregnancies, or being over age 35. They can affect your health and the health of your baby.
