Complications of the puerperium, not elsewhere classified

Not billableICD-10-CM diagnosis code.

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 9 more specific codes instead:

  • O90.0 Disruption of cesarean delivery wound
  • O90.1 Disruption of perineal obstetric wound
  • O90.2 Hematoma of obstetric wound
  • O90.3 Peripartum cardiomyopathy
  • O90.4 Postpartum acute kidney failure (also a header)
  • O90.5 Postpartum thyroiditis
  • O90.6 Postpartum mood disturbance
  • O90.8 Other complications of the puerperium, not elsewhere classified (also a header)
  • O90.9 Complication of the puerperium, 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.
