BillablePremature separation of placenta with other coagulation defect, first trimester
This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
The placenta separates prematurely from the uterus during the first trimester, causing a blood clotting disorder other than afibrinogenemia or disseminated intravascular coagulation.
Coding Tips
- •Document the specific coagulation defect present (such as hypofibrinogenemia, thrombocytopenia, or other clotting factor deficiencies)
- •First trimester abruption is uncommon; ensure the diagnosis is clearly supported in the clinical documentation
