- Billable — Valid for Submission
- CC — Complication or Comorbidity
- Not Chronic
O30.801 is a billable ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other specified multiple gestation, unspecified number of placenta and unspecified number of amniotic sacs, first trimester. 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 206 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 Multiple gestation.

Excludes2
Not included here: the excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient may have both, so both codes may be reported.
Use Additional Code
Add a second code, after this one, to fully describe the condition.
- code, if applicable, from category Z3A, Weeks of gestation, to identify the specific week of the pregnancy, if known.
Code Also
A second code may be needed to fully describe the condition; the note gives no sequencing direction.

Clinical InformationClinical
Multiple Gestation
a pregnancy involving twins or higher-order multiple fetuses (e.g., triplets, quadruplets).
Patient EducationClinical
Twins, Triplets, Multiple Births
If you are pregnant with more than one baby, you are far from alone. Multiple births are up in the United States. More women are having babies after age 30 and more are taking fertility drugs. Both boost the chance of carrying more than one baby. A family history of twins also makes multiples more likely.
