About O24.91

O24.91 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for unspecified diabetes mellitus in pregnancy. It belongs to category O24 (diabetes mellitus in pregnancy, childbirth, and the puerperium), block O20-O29 (other maternal disorders predominantly related to pregnancy) and chapter 15 (pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 4 subcodes must be used instead.

Within O24.9 (unspecified diabetes mellitus in pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium), O24.91 is specifically for unspecified diabetes mellitus in pregnancy. Related codes cover childbirth (O24.92) and the puerperium (O24.93).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: O24.911 (first trimester), O24.912 (second trimester), O24.913 (third trimester) and O24.919 (unspecified trimester).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
