O86 — Other puerperal infections

Not billable

Is O86 billable?

No — O86 is a non-billable header code. O86 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 17 billable codes beneath O86.

Use additional code

Report an additional code alongside O86 to fully describe the condition. O86 is sequenced first.

  • code (B95-B97), to identify infectious agent

Excludes2 — not included here

The conditions below are not part of O86, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, O86 and the excluded code may both be reported.

  • infection during labor (O75.3)
  • obstetrical tetanus (A34)

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from Chapter 15

The conditions below can never be reported together with O86 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 O86 to fully describe the condition. O86 is sequenced first.
