Other premature separation of placenta, 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 uterine wall during the first three months of pregnancy, classified as 'other' type of abruption.

Coding Tips

  • •The '8X' indicates 'other' specified types of placental abruption; ensure documentation specifies what type of abruption occurred
  • •First trimester abruption is relatively rare; verify clinical documentation supports this timing
