About ICD-9-CM 656.91
656.91 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for unspecified fetal and placental problem, affecting management of mother, delivered, with or without mention of antepartum condition. ICD-9-CM was retired for U.S. claims on October 1, 2015, when ICD-10-CM took over.
The CMS General Equivalence Mappings translate it to 3 ICD-10-CM codes, such as O36.91X0 (Maternal care for fetal problem, unspecified, first trimester, not applicable or unspecified), O36.92X0 (Maternal care for fetal problem, unspecified, second trimester, not applicable or unspecified) and O36.93X0 (Maternal care for fetal problem, unspecified, third trimester, not applicable or unspecified). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
