Placenta percreta, first trimester

This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).

What This Code Means

The placenta has invaded completely through the uterine muscle wall (placenta percreta) during the first trimester, the most severe form of abnormal placental attachment.

Coding Tips

  • •Placenta percreta is the most serious form of morbidly adherent placenta and often requires hysterectomy; ensure this severity is reflected in documentation
  • •Verify trimester documentation and coordinate with obstetric and anesthesia records for delivery planning
