This code exists but cannot be submitted on its own. It groups the more specific codes beneath it.

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:

  • O46.0 Antepartum hemorrhage with coagulation defect (also a header)
  • O46.8 Other antepartum hemorrhage (also a header)
  • O46.9 Antepartum hemorrhage, unspecified (also a header)

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.

  1. FY2012 Added to the draft code set draft Antepartum hemorrhage, not elsewhere classified
