Is O24.8 billable?

No — O24.8 is a non-billable header code. O24.8 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 6 billable codes beneath O24.8.

Report an additional code alongside O24.8 to fully describe the condition. O24.8 is sequenced first.

  • code (for):
  • from categories E08, E09 and E13 to further identify any manifestation

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from Chapter 15

The conditions below can never be reported together with O24.8 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.-)
