Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from Chapter 15

  • supervision of normal pregnancy (Z34.-)

Use additional code — inherited from Chapter 15

Report an additional code alongside O31.0 to fully describe the condition. O31.0 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

  • postpartum necrosis of pituitary gland (E23.0)
  • puerperal osteomalacia (M83.0)
