ICD-10 Code for Pre-eclampsia
The ICD-10-CM code for pre-eclampsia is O14.9 — Unspecified pre-eclampsia. This is the code the Alphabetic Index gives for pre-eclampsia with no further qualifier, valid for FY2027 (October 1, 2026 – September 30, 2027).
O14.9 cannot be submitted on a claim. It is a header code, so a more specific code from the list below is required.
Which pre-eclampsia code should you use?
The Alphabetic Index lists 12 codes under Pre-eclampsia. Which one applies depends on the qualifier documented in the record — the type, site, cause, or associated condition. Find the qualifier below, then verify the code in the Tabular List before using it.
