O75 — Other complications of labor and delivery, not elsewhere classified
Is O75 billable?
No — O75 is a non-billable header code. O75 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 10 billable codes beneath O75.

Excludes2 — not included here
The conditions below are not part of O75, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, O75 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from Chapter 15
The conditions below can never be reported together with O75 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 O75 to fully describe the condition. O75 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 O75, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, O75 and the excluded code may both be reported.
