O75.8Other specified complications of labor and delivery

O75.8 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other specified complications of labor and delivery. It belongs to category O75 (other complications of labor and delivery, not elsewhere classified), 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 3 subcodes must be used instead.

Within O75, choose O75.8 (Other specified complications of labor and delivery) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: maternal distress during labor and delivery (O75.0), shock during or following labor and delivery (O75.1), pyrexia during labor, not elsewhere classified (O75.2), other infection during labor (O75.3), other complications of obstetric surgery and procedures (O75.4), delayed delivery after artificial rupture of membranes (O75.5) and complication of labor and delivery, unspecified (O75.9).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: O75.81 (delivery), O75.82 (section) and O75.89 (delivery).

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