About O75

O75 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other complications of labor and delivery, not elsewhere classified. 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 8 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: O75.0 (delivery), O75.1 (delivery), O75.2 (classified), O75.3 (labor), O75.4 (procedures), O75.5 (membranes), O75.8 (delivery) and O75.9 (unspecified).

The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of O75, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: puerperal (postpartum) infection (O86.-) and puerperal (postpartum) sepsis (O85).

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