O9A
O9A — Maternal malignant neoplasms, traumatic injuries and abuse classifiable elsewhere but complicating pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium
Non-billable headerICD-10-CM
O9A is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for maternal malignant neoplasms, traumatic injuries and abuse classifiable elsewhere but complicating pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.
Other codes that can never be billed with O9A
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at O9A. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading O9A alone.
Risk adjustment
O9A 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.
