What is the ICD-10 code for complicated delivery?

O75.9 — Complication of labor and delivery, unspecified. More specific codes apply when the documentation supports them: O62.9, O62.8, O99.814, O62.9 and others below.

Is O75.9 billable?

Yes. O75.9 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code valid for FY2027 (October 1, 2026 – September 30, 2027).
