What This Code Means

O99.840 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for bariatric surgery status complicating pregnancy, unspecified trimester. A pregnant woman has had weight loss surgery (such as gastric bypass) in the past, which can affect her pregnancy and nutritional status. The trimester of pregnancy is not specified in this code. O99.840 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).

O99.840 is a billable ICD-10-CM code but does not map to a payment HCC under the CMS-HCC V28, V24, ESRD, or RxHCC risk adjustment models. It can be reported on Medicare Advantage encounter data submissions but it does not contribute to a beneficiary's RAF score and therefore does not affect risk-adjusted payments to the plan.

Use this code when the trimester is not documented or is unspecified; if trimester is known, use O99.841, O99.842, or O99.843.
