O75.1 — Shock during or following labor and delivery
O75.1 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for shock during or following labor and delivery. It is valid for submission on a claim.
Inclusion terms
Alternative wordings a physician may use in the chart for this same code.
- Obstetric shock following labor and delivery
Other codes that can never be billed with O75.1
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at O75.1. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading O75.1 alone.
Risk adjustment
O75.1 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.
Medicare coverage
O75.1 is named in 2 Medicare coverage policies — 2 listing it as supporting medical necessity. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.
- A57189Billing and Coding: Serum Magnesium
- A57326Billing and Coding: Electrocardiograms
