O08.5 — Metabolic disorders following an ectopic and molar pregnancy
O08.5 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for metabolic disorders following an ectopic and molar pregnancy. It is valid for submission on a claim.
Other codes that can never be billed with O08.5
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at O08.5. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading O08.5 alone.
- E87Other disorders of fluid, electrolyte and acid-base balance
Risk adjustment
O08.5 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.
Medicare coverage
O08.5 is named in 1 Medicare coverage policy — 1 listing it as supporting medical necessity. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.
