Y76.3Surgical instruments, materials and obstetric and gynecological devices (including sutures) associated with adverse incidents

Y76.3 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for surgical instruments, materials and obstetric and gynecological devices (including sutures) associated with adverse incidents. It belongs to category Y76 (obstetric and gynecological devices associated with adverse incidents), block Y70-Y82 (medical devices associated with adverse incidents in diagnostic and therapeutic use) and chapter 20 (external causes of morbidity). It is billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

Within Y76 (obstetric and gynecological devices associated with adverse incidents), Y76.3 is specifically for surgical instruments, materials and obstetric and gynecological devices (including sutures) associated with adverse incidents. Related codes cover diagnostic and monitoring obstetric and gynecological devices associated with adverse incidents (Y76.0), therapeutic (nonsurgical) and rehabilitative obstetric and gynecological devices associated with adverse incidents (Y76.1), prosthetic and other implants, materials and accessory obstetric and gynecological devices associated with adverse incidents (Y76.2) and miscellaneous obstetric and gynecological devices associated with adverse incidents, not elsewhere classified (Y76.8).

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

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.
