O22 — Venous complications and hemorrhoids in pregnancy

Not billable

Is O22 billable?

No — O22 is a non-billable header code. O22 groups more specific codes and cannot be submitted on a claim. A valid ICD-10-CM code must be reported at the highest level of specificity available in its branch. Select one of the 32 billable codes beneath O22.

Excludes1 — never code together

The conditions below can never be reported together with O22 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

  • venous complications of:
  • abortion NOS (O03.9)
  • ectopic or molar pregnancy (O08.7)
  • failed attempted abortion (O07.35)
  • induced abortion (O04.85)
  • spontaneous abortion (O03.89)

Excludes2 — not included here

The conditions below are not part of O22, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, O22 and the excluded code may both be reported.

  • obstetric pulmonary embolism (O88.-)
  • venous complications and hemorrhoids of childbirth and the puerperium (O87.-)

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from Chapter 15

Use additional code — inherited from Chapter 15

Report an additional code alongside O22 to fully describe the condition. O22 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 O22, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, O22 and the excluded code may both be reported.

What codes fall under O22? (8)

How long has O22 existed?

O22 has been in ICD-10-CM since at least FY2016, the earliest fiscal year on record here.

Derived from the official order files for FY2016–FY2026. FY2017 and FY2020 publish no order file, so those years are not covered.

Which codes are confused with O22?

ICD-10-CM declares these codes mutually exclusive with O22 — exactly one of each pair can be correct for a given encounter.
