About O14.9
O14.9 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for unspecified pre-eclampsia. It belongs to category O14 (pre-eclampsia), block O10-O16 (edema, proteinuria and hypertensive disorders in pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium) and chapter 15 (pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 5 subcodes must be used instead.
Within O14, choose O14.9 (Unspecified pre-eclampsia) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: mild to moderate pre-eclampsia (O14.0), severe pre-eclampsia (O14.1) and HELLP syndrome (O14.2).
To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: O14.90 (unspecified trimester), O14.92 (second trimester), O14.93 (third trimester), O14.94 (complicating childbirth) and O14.95 (complicating the puerperium).
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
