O46.8X1Other antepartum hemorrhage, first trimester

Billable / specific codeICD-10-CM

O46.8X1 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for other antepartum hemorrhage, first trimester. It is valid for submission on a claim.

Excludes1 inherited from the categories above O46.8X1

These are not written on O46.8X1, but they bind it: a note on a category applies to every code beneath it. Billing O46.8X1 with anything listed here is a denial.

Written on O46 Antepartum hemorrhage, not elsewhere classified

  • hemorrhage in early pregnancy (O20.-)
  • intrapartum hemorrhage NEC (O67.-)
  • placenta previa (O44.-)
  • premature separation of placenta [abruptio placentae] (O45.-)

Other codes that can never be billed with O46.8X1

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at O46.8X1. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading O46.8X1 alone.

  • O67Labor and delivery complicated by intrapartum hemorrhage, not elsewhere classified

Risk adjustment

O46.8X1 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

O46.8X1 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.
