O26.7Subluxation of symphysis (pubis) in pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium

O26.7 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for subluxation of symphysis (pubis) in pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium. It belongs to category O26 (maternal care for other conditions predominantly related to pregnancy), 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 3 subcodes must be used instead.

Within O26 (maternal care for other conditions predominantly related to pregnancy), O26.7 is specifically for subluxation of symphysis (pubis) in pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium. Related codes cover excessive weight gain in pregnancy (O26.0), low weight gain in pregnancy (O26.1), pregnancy care for patient with recurrent pregnancy loss (O26.2), retained intrauterine contraceptive device in pregnancy (O26.3), herpes gestationis (O26.4), maternal hypotension syndrome (O26.5), liver and biliary tract disorders in pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (O26.6), other specified pregnancy related conditions (O26.8) and 1 more.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: O26.71 (pregnancy), O26.72 (childbirth) and O26.73 (puerperium).

Don't report O26.7 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: traumatic separation of symphysis (pubis) during childbirth (O71.6).

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