What This Code Means

O12.10 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for gestational proteinuria, unspecified trimester. Protein in the urine that develops during pregnancy without a specified time period, indicating possible kidney involvement. O12.10 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (o00-o9a), within the section covering edema, proteinuria and hypertensive disorders in pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (o10-o16).

O12.10 is a billable ICD-10-CM code but does not map to a payment HCC under the CMS-HCC V28, V24, ESRD, or RxHCC risk adjustment models. It can be reported on Medicare Advantage encounter data submissions but it does not contribute to a beneficiary's RAF score and therefore does not affect risk-adjusted payments to the plan.

Gestational proteinuria differs from pre-eclampsia; verify no hypertension is present.

HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for O12.10 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.

Coding Tips

  • Gestational proteinuria differs from pre-eclampsia; verify no hypertension is present
  • Use more specific codes O12.11-O12.15 when trimester or delivery status is documented
