OB Diagnoses Coding with ICD-10-CM Obstetric cases require diagnosis codes from chapter 15 of ICD-10-CM, “Pregnancy, Childbirth, and the Puerperium.” It includes categories O00–O9A arranged in the following blocks: O00–O08, Pregnancy with abortive outcome
Examples of ICD-10-CM codes not classified by trimester are O62.1, Secondary uterine inertia, O63.1, Prolonged second stage (of labor), and O70.1, Second degree perineal laceration during delivery. The assignment of the final character for trimester is based on the trimester for the current admission or encounter.
10907ZCNote that Artificial Rupture of Membranes (AROM) (using a hook thru the cervix, not an amniocentesis) is coded as: 10907ZC--Drainage of Amniotic Fluid, Therapeutic from Products of Conception, Via Natural or Artificial opening.

ICD-10-PCS will be the official system of assigning codes to procedures associated with hospital utilization in the United States. ICD-10-PCS codes will support data collection, payment and electronic health records. ICD-10-PCS is a medical classification coding system for procedural codes.
SDOH are the conditions in the environments where people are born, live, learn, work, play, and age. SDOH-related Z codes ranging from Z55-Z65 are the ICD-10-CM encounter reason codes used to document SDOH data (e.g., housing, food insecurity, transportation, etc.).

Insurance companies pay for services based on diagnosis and procedure codes contained in medical documentation and submitted in claims, but Z-codes for social determinants of health don't trigger such payments, and this means "there's not a reason for providers to use them," Donovan says.
The ICD-10 Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) is a catalog of procedural codes used by medical professionals for hospital inpatient healthcare settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates. These 2022 ICD-10-PCS codes are to be used for discharges occurring from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022.
The procedure code 10903ZU is in the obstetrics section and is part of the pregnancy body system, classified under the drainage operation. The applicable bodypart is products of conception.
10903ZU is a billable procedure code used to specify the performance of drainage of amniotic fluid, diagnostic from products of conception, percutaneous approach. The code is valid for the year 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.
The Obstetrics section is one of the smaller sections in ICD-10-PCS. It contains a single body system value, pregnancy (0), 12 root operation values, and three body part values: Products of Conception (0), Products of Conception, Retained (1), and Products of Conception, Ectopic (2). Because there is only one body system and 12 root operations, there are only 12 tables available in the Obstetrics section from which to construct procedure codes.
Example: Amniocentesis is coded to the products of conception body part in the Obstetrics section.
It should be noted that only two of these root operations are unique to obstetrics – Abortion and Delivery. As with all root operations, Abortion and Delivery have precise definitions that must be applied to ensure that the correct code is assigned. The root operation Extraction is also important because it is used to report Cesarean deliveries and vaginal deliveries in which the use of forceps or vacuum extraction is required.
The Obstetrics section is a good section with which to begin ICD-10-PCS training because of the relatively limited number of root operations and tables. While there are two root operations that apply only to Obstetrics, the other 10 root operations also are used in the Medical and Surgical section. Learning the definitions of those 10 root operations common to both sections and learning how these definitions are applied in the Obstetrics section will help coders understand how they are used and applied in the Medical and Surgical section as well. In the process of learning ICD-10-PCS Obstetrics coding, coders also will become familiar with the format of the tables and will be able to learn how to easily use these tables to construct a code.
Procedures performed on the products of conception are coded to the Obstetrics section . Procedures performed on the pregnant female other than the products of conception are coded to the appropriate root operation in the Medical and Surgical section.
Cesarean deliveries always are reported with the approach value 0 for open approach and require a qualifier to more specifically identify the approach as Classical (0), Low Cervical (1) or Extraperitoneal (2).
There are limited coding guidelines currently available for ICD-10-PCS. In fact, only the Medical and Surgical section and Obstetrics section have any guidelines at all. For the Obstetric section, the available guidelines include a single guideline related to products of conception and a single guideline related to procedures following delivery or abortion. These guidelines are:
Only one code is available for a normal spontaneous vaginal delivery.
After many hours of labor, a fetal monitor was inserted vaginally to determine the fetal heart rate. After monitoring the fetus for 30 minutes, the mother was taken to the operating room for a classical cesarean section.
Diagnostic or therapeutic dilation and curettage performed during times other than the postpartum or post-abortion period are all coded in the Medical and Surgical section, to the root operation Extraction and the body part Endometrium.
If a procedure is performed on a portion of a body part that doesn't have a separate body part value, the whole body part is coded. Paramedics bring a 25-year-old man to the ED after a snowmobiling accident. It is determined that, because he had been driving too fast, he slid off a public snowmobile trail and hit a tree.
Obstetric cases require diagnosis codes from chapter 15 of ICD-10-CM, “Pregnancy, Childbirth, and the Puerperium.” It includes categories O00–O9A arranged in the following blocks:
Codes from this category also require either a fifth or sixth character specifying the trimester. Code O30.0, Twin pregnancy, is further classified by whether the twin pregnancy is monoamniotic/monochorionic, conjoined twins, other twin pregnancy, or unspecified twin pregnancy.
The obstetrics section is one of 16 sections in ICD-10-PCS and is categorized as one of the nine medical and surgical-related procedure sections. Similar to other ICD-10-PCS codes, obstetric procedure codes are seven characters in length with each of the seven characters representing an aspect of the procedure. The diagram above illustrates the seven characters of a code from the obstetrics section.
Because certain obstetric conditions or complications occur during certain trimesters, not all conditions include codes for all three trimesters.
The assignment of the final character for trimester is based on the trimester for the current admission or encounter. This guideline applies to the assignment of trimester for pre-existing conditions as well as those that develop during or are due to the pregnancy.
Similar to ICD-9-CM, ICD-10-CM obstetric codes in chapter 15 have sequencing priority over codes from other chapters. Additional codes from other chapters may be used in addition to chapter 15 codes to further specify conditions.
Outcome of delivery codes (Z37.0–Z37.9) are intended for use as an additional code to identify the outcome of delivery on the mother’s records. These codes are not to be used on subsequent records or on the newborn record.
post‐abortion period are all coded in the Medical and Surgicalsection, to the root operation Extraction and the body part Endometrium.”
