Maternal infectious and parasitic diseases classifiable elsewhere but complicating pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium

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 10 more specific codes instead:

  • O98.0 Tuberculosis complicating pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (also a header)
  • O98.1 Syphilis complicating pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (also a header)
  • O98.2 Gonorrhea complicating pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (also a header)
  • O98.3 Other infections with a predominantly sexual mode of transmission complicating pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (also a header)
  • O98.4 Viral hepatitis complicating pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (also a header)
  • O98.5 Other viral diseases complicating pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (also a header)
  • O98.6 Protozoal diseases complicating pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (also a header)
  • O98.7 Human immunodeficiency virus [HIV] disease complicating pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (also a header)
  • O98.8 Other maternal infectious and parasitic diseases complicating pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (also a header)
  • O98.9 Unspecified maternal infectious and parasitic disease complicating pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (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.
