O69.82: Labor and delivery complicated by other cord entanglement, without compression

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

O69.82 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for labor and delivery complicated by other cord entanglement, without compression. 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 each code under category O69. 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 O69 that has a 7th character of 1 through 9.

0: not applicable or unspecified
1: fetus 1
2: fetus 2
3: fetus 3
4: fetus 4
5: fetus 5
9: other fetus
