O75Other complications of labor and delivery, not elsewhere classified

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

O75 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for other complications of labor and delivery, not elsewhere classified. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.

Excludes2 — not included here, but may coexist

The excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient can have both. You may code both.

  • puerperal (postpartum) infection (O86.-)
  • puerperal (postpartum) sepsis (O85)

Other codes that can never be billed with O75

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at O75. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading O75 alone.

  • O72.1Other immediate postpartum hemorrhage
  • O62.2Other uterine inertia
  • R50Fever of other and unknown origin
  • R55Syncope and collapse
  • R57Shock, not elsewhere classified
  • T79.4Traumatic shock
  • T79.4XXATraumatic shock, initial encounter
  • T79.4XXDTraumatic shock, subsequent encounter

Risk adjustment

O75 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 to one of these instead O75

8 child codes. Green means billable.
