Code Description

ICD-10 O07.33 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of metabolic disorder following failed attempted termination of pregnancy.

Key Diagnostic Point:

O07.33 refers to a metabolic disorder that arises as a consequence of a failed attempted termination of pregnancy. This condition may manifest due to various physiological and biochemical changes that occur when a pregnancy is interrupted but not successfully terminated. Patients may experience complications such as hormonal imbalances, electrolyte disturbances, and metabolic derangements that can lead to conditions like diabetic ketoacidosis or hyperglycemia. The management of this disorder often requires a multidisciplinary approach, including obstetricians, endocrinologists, and mental health professionals, to address both the physical and psychological impacts of the failed termination. Close monitoring of the patient's metabolic status, along with appropriate interventions, is crucial to mitigate risks and ensure the health and safety of the patient. Documentation should include details of the attempted termination, the metabolic disorder diagnosed, and the treatment plan implemented.

Complexity Rating: High

High Complexity

Complexity Factors

  • Differentiating between metabolic disorders and other complications of pregnancy.
  • Understanding the implications of failed termination on maternal health.
  • Navigating the emotional and psychological aspects of care.
  • Documenting the specific metabolic disorder accurately.

Audit Risk Factors

  • Inadequate documentation of the failed termination attempt.
  • Failure to specify the type of metabolic disorder.
  • Lack of clear treatment plans in the medical record.
  • Insufficient follow-up documentation post-termination.

ICD-10 Impact

Diagnostic & Documentation Impact

Enhanced Specificity

ICD-10 Improvements

The transition to ICD-10 has allowed for more specific coding of complications related to pregnancy, including those arising from failed terminations. This specificity aids in better tracking and management of these complex cases.

ICD-9 vs ICD-10

The transition to ICD-10 has allowed for more specific coding of complications related to pregnancy, including those arising from failed terminations. This specificity aids in better tracking and management of these complex cases.
