O04.8 — (Induced) termination of pregnancy with other and unspecified complications
Non-billable headerICD-10-CM
O04.8 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for (induced) termination of pregnancy with other and unspecified complications. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.
Other codes that can never be billed with O04.8
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at O04.8. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading O04.8 alone.
Risk adjustment
O04.8 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.
