Other uterine inertia

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 adequately during labor, which may include irregular, weak, or insufficient contractions that prevent normal labor progression.

Coding Tips

  • •Use this code for uterine inertia not specified as primary or secondary, or when the distinction is unclear
  • •Review fetal monitoring strips and labor progression notes to document the inadequate contraction pattern

Excludes 1 — Do NOT code together

  • atony of uterus with hemorrhage (postpartum) (O72.1)
  • postpartum atony of uterus without hemorrhage (O75.89)
