Questions About O02.0Overview

What is the ICD-10 code for blighted ovum and nonhydatidiform mole?

The ICD-10-CM code for blighted ovum and nonhydatidiform mole is O02.0 (sometimes written as O020). It is billable on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

Is O02.0 (Other abnormal products of conception) a billable code?

Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report blighted ovum and nonhydatidiform mole on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

What MS-DRG does O02.0 group to?

When blighted ovum and nonhydatidiform mole is the principal diagnosis on an inpatient stay, it groups to MS-DRG 833, 832, 831, 819, 818, 817, with relative weights from 0.5000 to 1.7586 depending on complications. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.

Who can O02.0 be reported for?

The Medicare Code Editor checks blighted ovum and nonhydatidiform mole against patient demographics: this code is intended for maternity cases (age 9 through 64). Claims outside these limits are flagged as inconsistent.

Can O02.0 be reported with a code from O31.0?

Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note at O02, which applies to O02.0, lists "papyraceous fetus (O31.0-)". An Excludes1 note means the excluded code is never reported together with this one; the only exception is when the two conditions are unrelated to each other (Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
