O65.1

Billable

Obstructed labor due to generally contracted pelvis

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

What This Code Means

Labor obstruction caused by a pelvis that is uniformly smaller than normal throughout, preventing adequate space for the baby to pass through.

Coding Tips

  • •Document pelvimetry findings or clinical assessment that confirms generalized pelvic contraction
  • •Distinguish from O65.0 (deformed pelvis) by noting that the pelvis is proportionally small rather than misshapen
