7th character "1" — fetus 1
One of the following 7th characters is to be assigned to each code under subcategory O60.1. 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 subcategory O60.1 that has a 7th character of 1 through 9.

Other codes that can never be billed with O60.10X1
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at O60.10X1. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading O60.10X1 alone.

Risk adjustment
O60.10X1 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.
Code history
O60.10X1 has not changed since FY2024 — no addition, revision or deletion across the three most recent ICD-10-CM releases.
