(Induced) termination of pregnancy with other and unspecified complications
ICD-10 O04.8 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of (induced) termination of pregnancy with other and unspecified complications.
Induced termination of pregnancy (ITOP) with complications can occur due to various medical, psychological, or social reasons. This code encompasses situations where a pregnancy is intentionally ended, and complications arise that are not specifically classified elsewhere. Complications may include hemorrhage, infection, or adverse reactions to medications used in medical abortions. Medical abortions typically involve the use of medications such as mifepristone and misoprostol, while therapeutic terminations may be indicated for maternal health issues or fetal anomalies. Post-abortion care is crucial for monitoring and managing any complications, ensuring the patient's physical and emotional well-being. Documentation must reflect the reason for termination, the method used, and any complications encountered during the procedure. Accurate coding is essential for appropriate reimbursement and quality care tracking.
