Failed attempted termination of pregnancy with unspecified complications
ICD-10 O07.30 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of failed attempted termination of pregnancy with unspecified complications.
O07.30 refers to a failed attempted termination of pregnancy where the procedure did not successfully end the pregnancy, leading to potential complications. This code is used when the specific complications are not detailed in the medical record. Failed terminations can occur due to various reasons, including incomplete procedures, patient non-compliance, or medical contraindications. Complications may include retained products of conception, infection, or hemorrhage. Management of these cases often involves further medical evaluation, potential surgical intervention, and close monitoring of the patient's condition. It is crucial for healthcare providers to document the circumstances surrounding the failed termination, including the methods attempted, any complications that arose, and the subsequent management plan to ensure accurate coding and billing.
Providers must document the method of termination attempted, any complications encountered, and the patient's clinical status post-procedure.
Patients presenting with retained products of conception after a failed medical abortion or surgical termination.
Accurate coding requires clear documentation of the patient's consent and understanding of the procedure, as well as any complications that arise.
Detailed documentation of maternal and fetal health, especially in high-risk cases where complications may be more prevalent.
Management of patients with underlying health conditions that complicate termination attempts.
High-risk pregnancies may require additional coding for comorbid conditions that could affect the outcome of the termination attempt.
Used when a medical abortion is attempted but fails, leading to complications.
Documentation of the procedure performed, patient consent, and any complications encountered.
Obstetricians must ensure that all aspects of care are documented, especially in cases of complications.
Documentation should include the method of termination attempted, any complications that arose, the patient's clinical status, and the management plan following the failed attempt.
