Excludes1 inherited from the categories above O71.02

These are not written on O71.02, but they bind it: a note on a category applies to every code beneath it. Billing O71.02 with anything listed here is a denial.

Written on O71.0 Rupture of uterus (spontaneous) before onset of labor

  • disruption of (current) cesarean delivery wound (O90.0)
  • laceration of uterus, NEC (O71.81)

Other codes that can never be billed with O71.02

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at O71.02. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading O71.02 alone.

  • S37Injury of urinary and pelvic organs
  • S37.6Injury of uterus

Risk adjustment

O71.02 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

O71.02 has not changed since FY2024 — no addition, revision or deletion across the three most recent ICD-10-CM releases.
