O22: Venous complications and hemorrhoids in pregnancy

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

O22 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for venous complications and hemorrhoids in pregnancy. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.

Excludes1: never code together

These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.

venous complications of:
abortion NOS (O03.9)
ectopic or molar pregnancy (O08.7)
failed attempted abortion (O07.35)
induced abortion (O04.85)
spontaneous abortion (O03.89)

Excludes2: not included here, but may coexist

The excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient can have both. You may code both.

obstetric pulmonary embolism (O88.-)
venous complications and hemorrhoids of childbirth and the puerperium (O87.-)

Other codes that can never be billed with O22

Their own Excludes1 notes name this code, so the conflict is not listed above.

G08Intracranial and intraspinal phlebitis and thrombophlebitis
I86.3Vulval varices
K64Hemorrhoids and perianal venous thrombosis
