Secondary uterine inertia

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

What This Code Means

The uterus initially contracts normally during labor but then the contractions become weak or stop, slowing or halting labor progression.

Coding Tips

  • •Secondary inertia develops after a period of normal contractions; ensure documentation shows this progression
  • •Document the timeline of when contractions weakened or ceased relative to labor onset
