- Not Chronic
O08.2 is a billable ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for embolism following ectopic and molar pregnancy. It is valid on HIPAA claims for fiscal year 2027 (October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027) and groups to MS-DRG 769, 776. As a secondary diagnosis, it counts as a major complication or comorbidity (MCC) and places an inpatient stay in the highest severity level of its MS-DRG family. It does not count, however, when the principal diagnosis is one of 265 closely related codes. The code is restricted by the Medicare Code Editor to maternity cases (age 9 through 64). In AHRQ's Clinical Classifications Software (CCSR), this diagnosis falls under Complications following ectopic and/or molar pregnancy.

Patient EducationClinical
Ectopic Pregnancy
The uterus, or womb, is the place where a fetus grows during pregnancy. In an ectopic pregnancy, the fertilized egg grows in the wrong place outside the uterus. It usually occurs in the fallopian tubes. These tubes carry eggs from the ovaries to the uterus.
