O31.8X10 — Other complications specific to multiple gestation, first trimester, not applicable or unspecified
O31.8X10 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for other complications specific to multiple gestation, first trimester, not applicable or unspecified. It is valid for submission on a claim.
7th character "0" — not applicable or unspecified
One of the following 7th characters is to be assigned to each code under category O31. 7th character 0 is for single gestations and multiple gestations where the fetus is unspecified. 7th characters 1 through 9 are for cases of multiple gestations to identify the fetus for which the code applies. The appropriate code from category O30, Multiple gestation, must also be assigned when assigning a code from category O31 that has a 7th character of 1 through 9.

Risk adjustment
O31.8X10 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.
