O75
O75 — Other 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.
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.
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.
