(Induced) termination of pregnancy with other complications
ICD-10 O04.89 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of (induced) termination of pregnancy with other complications.
O04.89 refers to the induced termination of pregnancy that occurs with other complications not specified elsewhere. This code is utilized in cases where a medical abortion or therapeutic termination is performed due to various complications such as maternal health risks, fetal anomalies, or psychosocial factors. Medical abortions may involve the use of medications like mifepristone and misoprostol, while therapeutic terminations may be indicated for severe maternal conditions such as preeclampsia or gestational diabetes that pose risks to the mother or fetus. Post-abortion care is critical, involving monitoring for complications such as infection, excessive bleeding, or incomplete abortion. Proper documentation of the indications for termination, the method used, and any complications encountered is essential for accurate coding and reimbursement.
Documentation must include the reason for termination, method used, and any complications encountered during the procedure.
