About coding induced abortion

The ICD-10-CM code for induced abortion is Z33.2 (Encounter for elective termination of pregnancy). The official index lists 33 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on Z33.2.

Within Z33 (Pregnant state), Z33.2 is specifically for encounter for elective termination of pregnancy. Related codes cover incidental (Z33.1) and gestational carrier (Z33.3).

Don't report Z33.2 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: early fetal death with retention of dead fetus (O02.1), late fetal death (O36.4) and spontaneous abortion (O03).

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