O87Venous complications and hemorrhoids in the puerperium

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

O87 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for venous complications and hemorrhoids in the puerperium. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.

Excludes2 — not included here, but may coexist

The excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient can have both. You may code both.

  • obstetric embolism (O88.-)
  • puerperal septic thrombophlebitis (O86.81)
  • venous complications in pregnancy (O22.-)

Includes

Conditions this code covers.

  • venous complications in labor, delivery and the puerperium

Other codes that can never be billed with O87

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at O87. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading O87 alone.

  • G08Intracranial and intraspinal phlebitis and thrombophlebitis
  • I86.3Vulval varices
  • K64Hemorrhoids and perianal venous thrombosis

Risk adjustment

O87 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.

Code to one of these instead O87

7 child codes. Green means billable.
