O87Venous complications and hemorrhoids in the puerperium

O87 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for venous complications and hemorrhoids in the puerperium. It belongs to 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 7 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: O87.0 (puerperium), O87.1 (puerperium), O87.2 (puerperium), O87.3 (puerperium), O87.4 (puerperium), O87.8 (puerperium) and O87.9 (unspecified).

The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of O87, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: obstetric embolism (O88.-), puerperal septic thrombophlebitis (O86.81) and venous complications in pregnancy (O22.-).

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