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.

Questions About O08.6Overview

Is O08.6 (Complications following ectopic and molar pregnancy) a billable code?

Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report damage to pelvic organs and tissues following an ectopic and molar pregnancy on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026.

Who can O08.6 be reported for?

The Medicare Code Editor checks damage to pelvic organs and tissues following an ectopic and molar pregnancy against patient demographics: this code is intended for maternity cases (age 9 through 64). Claims outside these limits are flagged as inconsistent.

What is the ICD-9 equivalent of O08.6?

Under the General Equivalence Mappings, damage to pelvic organs and tissues following an ectopic and molar pregnancy converts to ICD-9-CM 639.2 (postabort pelvic damage). The mapping is a direct match.

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.
