About O71

O71 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other obstetric trauma. It belongs to block O60-O77 (complications of labor and delivery) and chapter 15 (pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 10 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: O71.0 (labor), O71.1 (labor), O71.2 (uterus), O71.3 (cervix), O71.4 (alone), O71.5 (organs), O71.6 (ligaments), O71.7 (pelvis) and 2 more.

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