ICD-10-CM is a coding system used by healthcare providers to classify and code diseases, injuries, and medical procedures. For high-risk pregnancies, the following codes may be used:
O09.1: Supervision of high-risk pregnancy, unspecified
- This code is used to indicate that the patient is receiving medical supervision during a high-risk pregnancy, but the specific complication or risk factor is not specified.
O09.11: Supervision of pregnancy with history of infertility
- This code is used when a woman has a history of infertility and is now pregnant, which may indicate a higher risk pregnancy.
O09.21: Supervision of pregnancy with grand multiparity
- This code is used when a woman is pregnant with her fifth or subsequent child, which may indicate a higher risk pregnancy.
O09.291: Supervision of pregnancy with other poor reproductive or obstetric history
- This code is used when a woman has a poor reproductive or obstetric history that may increase the risk of complications during pregnancy.
O09.3: Supervision of elderly primigravida
- This code is used when a woman is pregnant for the first time and is 35 years or older, which may indicate a higher risk pregnancy.
O09.4: Supervision of pregnancy with other high-risk factors
- This code is used when a woman has other high-risk factors during pregnancy that are not specifically mentioned in the other codes.
O10: Pre-existing hypertension complicating pregnancy, childbirth, and the puerperium
- This code is used when a woman has hypertension (high blood pressure) before becoming pregnant and continues to have it during pregnancy, which can increase the risk of complications.
O11: Pre-existing hypertensive disorders with superimposed proteinuria complicating pregnancy, childbirth, and the puerperium
- This code is used when a woman has pre-existing hypertension and proteinuria (excessive protein in the urine) during pregnancy, which can increase the risk of complications.
O14: Gestational [pregnancy-induced] hypertension without significant proteinuria
- This code is used when a woman develops hypertension during pregnancy, which can increase the risk of complications.
O15: Eclampsia
- This code is used when a woman with pre-eclampsia (a pregnancy complication characterized by high blood pressure and damage to organs) experiences seizures or convulsions.
It’s important to note that these codes are just a few examples of the codes that may be used to indicate a high-risk pregnancy, and the specific code used will depend on the patient’s individual circumstances. It’s always best to consult with a healthcare provider for proper coding.
