What This Code Means

O99 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other maternal diseases classifiable elsewhere but complicating pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium. O99 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (o00-o9a), within the section covering other obstetric conditions, not elsewhere classified (o94-o9a).

Header codes like O99 cannot be reported on claims directly; they organize child codes that share clinical context. Coders should select the billable child code that matches the documented presentation and then verify its current source-backed HCC mapping. Do not infer a child code or risk adjustment value from the header alone.

HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, source-labeled coefficient references, and MEAT documentation criteria for O99 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.

Includes

  • conditions which complicate the pregnant state, are aggravated by the pregnancy or are a main reason for obstetric care

Excludes 2, Not included here, may code separately

  • when the reason for maternal care is that the condition is known or suspected to have affected the fetus (O35-O36)
