About O87.2

O87.2 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for hemorrhoids in the puerperium. It belongs to category O87 (venous complications and hemorrhoids in the puerperium), block O85-O92 (complications predominantly related to the puerperium) and chapter 15 (pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium). It is billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

Within O87 (venous complications and hemorrhoids in the puerperium), O87.2 is specifically for hemorrhoids in the puerperium. Related codes cover superficial thrombophlebitis in the puerperium (O87.0), deep phlebothrombosis in the puerperium (O87.1), cerebral venous thrombosis in the puerperium (O87.3), varicose veins of lower extremity in the puerperium (O87.4), other venous complications in the puerperium (O87.8) and venous complication in the puerperium, unspecified (O87.9).

As a secondary diagnosis it is a CC (complication or comorbidity), which can move an inpatient stay into the "with CC" MS-DRG of its family, unless the principal diagnosis excludes it.

In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 769 (Postpartum and Post Abortion Diagnoses with O.R. Procedures, relative weight 1.6673) and DRG 776 (Postpartum and Post Abortion Diagnoses without O.R. Procedures, relative weight 0.6721), in MDC 14 (Pregnancy, Childbirth and the Puerperium), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.

The Medicare Code Editor treats this as a maternity diagnosis, expected only for patients age 9 through 64.

It is on the CMS list of diagnoses consistent only with female patients (the sex-conflict edit itself was retired in FY2025).

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

Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as 671.82 (other venous complications of pregnancy and the puerperium, delivered, with mention of postpartum complication) and 671.84 (other venous complications of pregnancy and the puerperium, postpartum condition or complication).
