Code Classification

  • Pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium
    (O00-O9A)
    • Maternal care related to the fetus and amniotic cavity and possible delivery problems
      (O30-O48)
      • Placental disorders
        (O43)

O43.899 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of other placental disorders, unspecified trimester. The code is valid during the current fiscal year for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions from October 01, 2023 through September 30, 2024.

The code O43.899 is applicable to female patients aged 12 through 55 years inclusive. It is clinically and virtually impossible to use this code on a non-female patient outside the stated age range.

Unspecified diagnosis codes like O43.899 are acceptable when clinical information is unknown or not available about a particular condition. Although a more specific code is preferable, unspecified codes should be used when such codes most accurately reflect what is known about a patient's condition. Specific diagnosis codes should not be used if not supported by the patient's medical record.

Clinical Classification

Clinical Information

  • Gestational Trophoblastic Disease

    a group of diseases arising from pregnancy that are commonly associated with hyperplasia of trophoblasts (trophoblast) and markedly elevated human chorionic gonadotropin. they include hydatidiform mole, invasive mole (hydatidiform mole, invasive), placental-site trophoblastic tumor (trophoblastic tumor, placental site), and choriocarcinoma. these neoplasms have varying propensities for invasion and spread.
  • Placental Aromatase Deficiency

    an autosomal recessive condition that results in aromatase deficiency in the placenta, causing temporary virilization of the pregnant woman and virilization of her 46,xx fetus.

Code Edits

The Medicare Code Editor (MCE) detects and reports errors in the coding of claims data. The following ICD-10-CM Code Edits are applicable to this code:

  • Maternity diagnoses - The Medicare Code Editor detects inconsistencies in maternity cases by checking a patient's age and any diagnosis on the patient's record. The maternity code edits apply to patients age ange is 9–64 years inclusive (e.g., diabetes in pregnancy, antepartum pulmonary complication).
  • Diagnoses for females only - The Medicare Code Editor detects inconsistencies between a patient’s sex and any diagnosis on the patient’s record, these edits apply to FEMALES only .

Convert O43.899 to ICD-9-CM

  • ICD-9-CM Code: 656.80 - Fet/plac prob NEC-unspec
    Approximate Flag - The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 and ICD-9 codes and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.

Footnotes

[1] Not chronic - A diagnosis code that does not fit the criteria for chronic condition (duration, ongoing medical treatment, and limitations) is considered not chronic. Some codes designated as not chronic are acute conditions. Other diagnosis codes that indicate a possible chronic condition, but for which the duration of the illness is not specified in the code description (i.e., we do not know the condition has lasted 12 months or longer) also are considered not chronic.
