O08.9
O08.9 — Unspecified complication following an ectopic and molar pregnancy
Billable / specific codeICD-10-CM
O08.9 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for unspecified complication following an ectopic and molar pregnancy. It is valid for submission on a claim.
Risk adjustment
O08.9 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.
