O33.6 — Maternal care for disproportion due to hydrocephalic fetus
O33.6 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for maternal care for disproportion due to hydrocephalic fetus. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below. This code also requires a 7th character before it is complete.
This code requires a 7th character
One of the following 7th characters is to be assigned to code O33.6. 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 code O33.6 with a 7th character of 1 through 9.

Risk adjustment
O33.6 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.
How O33.6 is indexed
Coders do not find codes by browsing the tabular list — they look them up in the alphabetic index, under the word the physician wrote. These are the index entries that lead here, so you can see which chart wordings map to O33.6.
- Hydrocephalus›causing disproportion
- Delivery›cesarean›hydrocephalic fetus
- Pregnancy›complicated by›hydrocephalic fetus(disproportion)
