Primary inadequate contractions

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

What This Code Means

The uterus is not contracting strongly or frequently enough during labor from the very beginning of labor, preventing normal progression.

Coding Tips

  • •Primary inadequate contractions occur from the onset of labor; distinguish from secondary inertia which develops after normal contractions
  • •Document contraction patterns and frequency from labor monitoring records to support this diagnosis
