O00.121 is a billable ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for right interstitial ectopic pregnancy without intrauterine pregnancy. It is valid on HIPAA claims for fiscal year 2027 (October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027) and groups to MS-DRG 817 through 819, 831 through 833. As a secondary diagnosis, it counts as a complication or comorbidity (CC) and moves an inpatient stay to a higher severity level within its MS-DRG family. It does not count, however, when the principal diagnosis is one of 34 closely related codes. The code is restricted by the Medicare Code Editor to maternity cases (age 9 through 64).
