About O86.1

O86.1 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other infection of genital tract following delivery. It belongs to category O86 (other puerperal infections), block O85-O92 (complications predominantly related to the puerperium) and chapter 15 (pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 4 subcodes must be used instead.

Within O86, choose O86.1 (Other infection of genital tract following delivery) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: infection of obstetric surgical wound (O86.0), urinary tract infection following delivery (O86.2), pyrexia of unknown origin following delivery (O86.4) and other specified puerperal infections (O86.8).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: O86.11 (delivery), O86.12 (delivery), O86.13 (delivery) and O86.19 (delivery).

Use an additional code (B95-B97), to identify infectious agent.

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