ICD-10 code for attempted abortion
Failed attempted termination of pregnancy without complication
From the official ICD-10-CM alphabetic index entry “Abortion (complete) (spontaneous) › attempted (elective) (failed)”. Page updated September 29, 2026.
About coding attempted abortion
The ICD-10-CM code for attempted abortion is O07.4 (Failed attempted termination of pregnancy without complication). The official index lists 33 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on O07.4.
Within O07, choose O07.4 (without complication) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: genital tract and pelvic infection following failed attempted termination of pregnancy (O07.0), delayed or excessive hemorrhage following failed attempted termination of pregnancy (O07.1), embolism following failed attempted termination of pregnancy (O07.2) and with other and unspecified complications (O07.3).
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 770 (Abortion with D&C, Aspiration Curettage or Hysterotomy, relative weight 1.0992) and DRG 779 (Abortion without D&C, relative weight 1.0203), 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.
