Code Classification

  • Pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium
    (O00-O9A)
    • Maternal care related to the fetus and amniotic cavity and possible delivery problems
      (O30-O48)
      • Maternal care for other fetal problems
        (O36)

O36.8990 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of maternal care for other specified fetal problems, unspecified trimester, not applicable or unspecified. The code is valid during the current fiscal year for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions from October 01, 2023 through September 30, 2024.

The code O36.8990 is applicable to female patients aged 12 through 55 years inclusive. It is clinically and virtually impossible to use this code on a non-female patient outside the stated age range.

Unspecified diagnosis codes like O36.8990 are acceptable when clinical information is unknown or not available about a particular condition. Although a more specific code is preferable, unspecified codes should be used when such codes most accurately reflect what is known about a patient's condition. Specific diagnosis codes should not be used if not supported by the patient's medical record.

Clinical Classification

Clinical Information

    a clinical manifestation of abnormal increase in the amount of carbon dioxide in arterial blood.
  • Rhabdomyoma

    a benign tumor derived from striated muscle. it is extremely rare, generally occurring in the tongue, neck muscles, larynx, uvula, nasal cavity, axilla, vulva, and heart. these tumors are treated by simple excision. (dorland, 27th ed; devita jr et al., cancer: principles & practice of oncology, 3d ed, p1354)
  • Exsanguination

    rapid and extreme blood loss leading to hemorrhagic shock.
  • Cardiomegaly

    enlargement of the heart, usually indicated by a cardiothoracic ratio above 0.50. heart enlargement may involve the right, the left, or both heart ventricles or heart atria. cardiomegaly is a nonspecific symptom seen in patients with chronic systolic heart failure (heart failure) or several forms of cardiomyopathies.
  • Cardiomegaly, Exercise-Induced

    non-pathological heart enlargement and other remodeling in cardiac morphology and electrical circuitry found in individuals who participate in intense repeated exercises.

    an acute inflammation of the umbilical cord. it is characterized by the presence of polymorphonuclear cells migrating from the fetal umbilical cord vessels through the umbilical cord towards the bacteria containing amniotic fluid.
  • Necrotizing Funisitis|Sclerosing Funisitis|Sclerosing Funisitis

    a ring of karyorrhectic debris that may exhibit dystrophic mineralization and/or identifiable fetal neutrophil infiltrate in wharton's jelly that is oriented towards the amniotic surface. the cord has a denser ring externally and a fainter ring centrally.

Code Edits

The Medicare Code Editor (MCE) detects and reports errors in the coding of claims data. The following ICD-10-CM Code Edits are applicable to this code:

  • Maternity diagnoses - The Medicare Code Editor detects inconsistencies in maternity cases by checking a patient's age and any diagnosis on the patient's record. The maternity code edits apply to patients age ange is 9–64 years inclusive (e.g., diabetes in pregnancy, antepartum pulmonary complication).
  • Diagnoses for females only - The Medicare Code Editor detects inconsistencies between a patient’s sex and any diagnosis on the patient’s record, these edits apply to FEMALES only .

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.
