N96
N96 — Recurrent pregnancy loss
Billable / specific codeICD-10-CM
N96 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for recurrent pregnancy loss. It is valid for submission on a claim.
Excludes1 — never code together
These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.
- recurrent pregancy loss with current pregnancy (O26.2-)
Inclusion terms
Alternative wordings a physician may use in the chart for this same code.
- Investigation or care in a nonpregnant woman with history of recurrent pregnancy loss
Risk adjustment
N96 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.
How N96 is indexed
Coders do not find codes by browsing the tabular list — they look them up in the alphabetic index, under the word the physician wrote. These are the index entries that lead here, so you can see which chart wordings map to N96.
- Abortion›habitual or recurrent
- Loss›pregnancy, recurrent
- Abortion›habitual or recurrent›without current pregnancy
