O43Placental disorders

Not billable

Is O43 billable?

No — O43 is a non-billable header code. O43 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 48 billable codes beneath O43.

Excludes2 — not included here

The conditions below are not part of O43, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, O43 and the excluded code may both be reported.

  • maternal care for poor fetal growth due to placental insufficiency (O36.5-)
  • placenta previa (O44.-)
  • placental polyp (O90.89)
  • placentitis (O41.14-)
  • premature separation of placenta [abruptio placentae] (O45.-)

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from Chapter 15

The conditions below can never be reported together with O43 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 O43 to fully describe the condition. O43 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 O43, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, O43 and the excluded code may both be reported.

  • mental and behavioral disorders associated with the puerperium (F53.-)
  • obstetrical tetanus (A34)
  • postpartum necrosis of pituitary gland (E23.0)
  • puerperal osteomalacia (M83.0)
