Failed attempted termination of pregnancy with other complications
ICD-10 O07.39 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of failed attempted termination of pregnancy with other complications.
The code O07.39 is used to classify cases where an attempted termination of pregnancy has failed, leading to complications that may require further medical intervention. This situation can arise from various methods of termination, including medical or surgical procedures, where the intended outcome is not achieved. Complications may include retained products of conception, infection, hemorrhage, or other adverse effects that necessitate additional treatment. Clinicians must carefully assess the patient's condition, document the complications, and provide appropriate management, which may involve surgical intervention, medical therapy, or close monitoring. Accurate coding is essential to reflect the complexity of care provided and to ensure appropriate reimbursement for the services rendered.
Documentation must include details of the attempted termination, method used, complications encountered, and management provided.
Patients presenting with retained products of conception after a medical abortion, or those experiencing complications following a surgical termination.
