A category header for its whole life, FY2016 onwards. It has never been valid for submission on its own.

Submit one of these 3 more specific codes instead:

O24.81 Other pre-existing diabetes mellitus in pregnancy (also a header)
O24.82 Other pre-existing diabetes mellitus in childbirth
O24.83 Other pre-existing diabetes mellitus in the puerperium

What has happened to this code

Every change the publisher made, from 2012 to now. Entries marked draft are from the pre-implementation releases: ICD-10 took effect on 1 October 2015, so nothing before FY2016 was ever valid on a claim.

FY2012 Added to the draft code set draft Other pre-existing diabetes mellitus in pregnancy, childbirth, and the puerperium
