O30.801 — Other specified multiple gestation, unspecified number of placenta and unspecified number of amniotic sacs, first trimester
Is O30.801 billable?
Yes, but O30.801 is an unspecified code. O30.801 is a valid, billable ICD-10-CM code for encounters from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027. However, O30.801 is an unspecified or catch-all code. Payers apply additional scrutiny to unspecified codes and many deny them when the medical record supports a more specific option, so check the documentation before selecting O30.801 — the more specific alternatives are listed below.

Which MS-DRGs does O30.801 group to?
O30.801 sits in MDC 14 and helps define the logic of 3 MS-DRGs (version 44, FY2027). Which one a stay actually groups to also depends on procedures and secondary diagnoses.
- 817Other Antepartum Diagnoses with O.R. Procedures with MCCsurgical
- 818Other Antepartum Diagnoses with O.R. Procedures with CCsurgical
- 819Other Antepartum Diagnoses with O.R. Procedures without CC/MCCsurgical
As a secondary diagnosis, O30.801 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 O30.801 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.-)
Use additional code — inherited from Chapter 15
Report an additional code alongside O30.801 to fully describe the condition. O30.801 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 O30.801, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, O30.801 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Code also — inherited from O30
Two codes may be needed to describe the condition fully. Whether O30.801 is sequenced first depends on the reason for the encounter.
- any complications specific to multiple gestation
How long has O30.801 existed?
O30.801 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.
