What This Code Means

O43.013 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for fetomaternal placental transfusion syndrome, third trimester. An abnormal transfer of blood occurs from the fetus to the mother through the placenta during the third trimester of pregnancy. O43.013 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).

O43.013 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.

This is the most common trimester for detection of fetomaternal transfusion.
