Placenta percreta, third 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 third trimester, the most severe form of abnormal placental attachment near delivery.

Coding Tips

  • •Third trimester diagnosis of percreta requires urgent delivery planning and likely cesarean hysterectomy
  • •Ensure all imaging and clinical findings are documented; coordinate with delivery and surgical codes
