Which MS-DRGs does O08.6 group to?

O08.6 sits in MDC 14 and helps define the logic of 1 MS-DRG (version 44, FY2027). Which one a stay actually groups to also depends on procedures and secondary diagnoses.

  • 769Postpartum and Post Abortion Diagnoses with O.R. Proceduressurgical

As a secondary diagnosis, O08.6 is a complication or comorbidity (CC), which can move a stay into a higher-paying DRG.

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from Chapter 15

The conditions below can never be reported together with O08.6 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

  • supervision of normal pregnancy (Z34.-)

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from O00-O08

The conditions below can never be reported together with O08.6 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

  • continuing pregnancy in multiple gestation after abortion of one fetus or more (O31.1-, O31.3-)

Use additional code — inherited from Chapter 15

Report an additional code alongside O08.6 to fully describe the condition. O08.6 is sequenced first.

  • code, if applicable, from category Z3A, Weeks of gestation, to identify the specific week of the pregnancy, if known.

Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 15

The conditions below are not part of O08.6, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, O08.6 and the excluded code may both be reported.
