2025 ICD-10-CM code O08.7
Other venous complications following an ectopic and molar pregnancy.
Medical necessity for the treatment of the venous complication must be established. The documentation should support the need for the intervention and its connection to the ectopic or molar pregnancy.
The physician is responsible for diagnosing and managing the venous complications following the ectopic or molar pregnancy. This may include ordering imaging studies, prescribing medications, or performing procedures to address the complications.
In simple words: This code indicates complications involving your veins after an ectopic pregnancy (pregnancy outside the uterus) or a molar pregnancy (a non-viable pregnancy where a growth of cysts forms).
This code describes other venous complications that occur following an ectopic or molar pregnancy. An ectopic pregnancy is when a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, while a molar pregnancy is an abnormal form of pregnancy where a non-viable fertilized egg implants in the uterus and develops into a mass of cysts.
Example 1: A patient who had a molar pregnancy develops a deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in her leg., A patient experiences pelvic vein thrombophlebitis after an ectopic pregnancy., A patient presents with superficial thrombophlebitis in the arm following a surgical removal of an ectopic pregnancy.
Documentation should include details about the type of venous complication, the affected vein(s), and the relationship to the prior ectopic or molar pregnancy. Diagnostic tests and treatments should also be documented.
