What This Code Means

O99.842 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for bariatric surgery status complicating pregnancy, second trimester. A pregnant woman who has had weight loss surgery (bariatric surgery) and is experiencing complications related to this surgery during the second trimester of pregnancy. O99.842 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).

O99.842 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.

Always verify the trimester is documented as second trimester; if not specified, query the provider for clarification.
