O26.8Other specified pregnancy related conditions

O26.8 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other specified pregnancy related conditions. 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 8 subcodes must be used instead.

Within O26, choose O26.8 (Other specified pregnancy related conditions) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: 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), subluxation of symphysis (pubis) in pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (O26.7) and 1 more.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: O26.81 (fatigue), O26.82 (neuritis), O26.83 (disease), O26.84 (pregnancy), O26.85 (pregnancy), O26.86 ((PUPPP)), O26.87 (shortening) and O26.89 (conditions).

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