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

Submit one of these 4 more specific codes instead:

  • O77.0 Labor and delivery complicated by meconium in amniotic fluid
  • O77.1 Fetal stress in labor or delivery due to drug administration
  • O77.8 Labor and delivery complicated by other evidence of fetal stress
  • O77.9 Labor and delivery complicated by fetal stress, unspecified

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.
