About coding Arrested active phase delivery
The ICD-10-CM code for Arrested active phase delivery is O62.1 (Secondary uterine inertia).
Within O62 (abnormalities of forces of labor), O62.1 is specifically for secondary uterine inertia. Related codes cover primary inadequate contractions (O62.0), other uterine inertia (O62.2), precipitate labor (O62.3), Hypertonic, incoordinate, and prolonged uterine contractions (O62.4), other abnormalities of forces of labor (O62.8) and abnormality of forces of labor, unspecified (O62.9).
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.
