Complete or unspecified spontaneous abortion with other complications
ICD-10 O03.89 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of complete or unspecified spontaneous abortion with other complications.
O03.89 refers to a complete or unspecified spontaneous abortion that occurs with additional complications. Spontaneous abortion, commonly known as miscarriage, is defined as the loss of a pregnancy before the 20th week of gestation. This condition can occur due to various factors, including chromosomal abnormalities, maternal health issues, or environmental factors. Complications may include retained products of conception, infection, or excessive bleeding. The emotional impact on the patient can be significant, necessitating psychological support and counseling. It is essential for healthcare providers to document the specifics of the abortion, including gestational age, any complications encountered, and the emotional support provided to the patient. Accurate coding is crucial for appropriate management and follow-up care.
