Placenta percreta, unspecified 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) at an unspecified point during pregnancy, the most severe form of abnormal placental attachment.

Coding Tips

  • •Use only when trimester is not documented; this represents incomplete documentation
  • •Query the provider for trimester information to assign the most specific code
