About coding Miscarriage threatened

The ICD-10-CM code for Miscarriage threatened is O20.0 (Threatened abortion).

Within O20 (hemorrhage in early pregnancy), O20.0 is specifically for threatened abortion. Related codes cover other hemorrhage in early pregnancy (O20.8) and unspecified (O20.9).

As a secondary diagnosis it is a CC (complication or comorbidity), which can move an inpatient stay into the "with CC" MS-DRG of its family, unless the principal diagnosis excludes it.

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.
