What This Code Means
O34.29 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for maternal care due to uterine scar from other previous surgery. Pregnant patient with a uterine scar from previous surgery other than cesarean delivery, such as myomectomy or dilation and curettage. O34.29 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (o00-o9a), within the section covering maternal care related to the fetus and amniotic cavity and possible delivery problems (o30-o48).
O34.29 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.
Use only when scar is from non-cesarean uterine surgery; document the type of prior surgery.
HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for O34.29 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.
