About O99.280

O99.280 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases complicating pregnancy, unspecified trimester. It belongs to category O99 (other maternal diseases classifiable elsewhere but complicating pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium), block O94-O9A (other obstetric conditions, not elsewhere classified) 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 O99.28, choose O99.280 (pregnancy, unspecified trimester) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: pregnancy, first trimester (O99.281), pregnancy, second trimester (O99.282), pregnancy, third trimester (O99.283), childbirth (O99.284) and the puerperium (O99.285).

Use an additional code to identify specific condition.

It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.

In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 817 (Other Antepartum Diagnoses with O.R. Procedures with MCC, relative weight 2.0534), DRG 818 (Other Antepartum Diagnoses with O.R. Procedures with CC, relative weight 1.2942), DRG 819 (Other Antepartum Diagnoses with O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.7739), DRG 831 (Other Antepartum Diagnoses without O.R. Procedures with MCC, relative weight 1.1558), DRG 832 (Other Antepartum Diagnoses without O.R. Procedures with CC, relative weight 0.7585) and DRG 833 (Other Antepartum Diagnoses without O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.5002), 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 648.90 (other current conditions classifiable elsewhere of mother, unspecified as to episode of care or not applicable).
