O65.2

Billable

Obstructed labor due to pelvic inlet contraction

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

What This Code Means

Labor that cannot progress normally because the upper part of the mother's pelvis is too narrow to allow the baby to pass through.

Coding Tips

  • Document the specific measurement or clinical findings confirming pelvic inlet contraction
  • This code requires a diagnosis of obstructed labor; do not use if labor progressed normally despite pelvic measurements
