O75.82

Billable

Onset (spontaneous) of labor after 37 completed weeks of gestation but before 39 completed weeks gestation, with delivery by (planned) cesarean section

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

What This Code Means

Labor begins naturally after 37 weeks of pregnancy but before 39 weeks, and the baby is delivered by a planned cesarean section rather than vaginal delivery.

Coding Tips

  • •This code specifically applies to planned/scheduled cesarean sections; do not use for emergency cesareans
  • •Document the reason for the planned cesarean section in addition to this complication code

Code First

  • to specify reason for planned cesarean section such as:

  • previous cesarean delivery (O34.21-)
