2025 ICD-10-CM code O02
Other abnormal products of conception. Use additional code from category O08 to identify any associated complication.
Medical necessity is established by the presence of an abnormal pregnancy that poses a risk to the patient's health or future fertility.Documentation should support the need for intervention based on the specific condition and clinical presentation.
Obstetricians and Gynecologists (OB/GYNs) are primarily responsible for the clinical management of patients with abnormal products of conception. They diagnose the condition, counsel patients on treatment options, and provide appropriate medical or surgical interventions.
In simple words: This code signifies an unusual condition related to the products of conception other than a blighted ovum, missed abortion, or hydatidiform mole.
Other abnormal products of conception. Use additional code from category O08 to identify any associated complication. Excludes1: papyraceous fetus (O31.0-)
Example 1: A 28-year-old woman presents with vaginal bleeding at 8 weeks gestation. Ultrasound reveals a non-viable pregnancy with abnormal development of the fetal sac, consistent with a blighted ovum. This scenario is coded as O02.0., A 35-year-old woman experiences a missed abortion at 10 weeks gestation.Ultrasound confirms an empty gestational sac with no fetal heartbeat.This would be coded as O02.1., A 30-year-old woman presents with vaginal bleeding and cramping at 7 weeks gestation.Examination reveals retained products of conception that are not consistent with a recognizable pregnancy or molar pregnancy.This would be coded as O02.8.
Documentation should include the type of abnormal products of conception, ultrasound findings, relevant laboratory results (e.g., hCG levels), and details of any procedures performed (e.g., dilation and curettage).
