Delayed delivery after artificial rupture of membranes

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

What This Code Means

A delay in the delivery of the baby after the amniotic sac has been intentionally ruptured to induce or augment labor.

Coding Tips

  • •Document the time interval between membrane rupture and actual delivery to support medical necessity
  • •Ensure the membranes were artificially ruptured; spontaneous rupture uses different coding
