Unspecified ectopic pregnancy without intrauterine pregnancy

This code represents a pregnancy that has implanted outside the uterus, where the specific location of the ectopic implantation is not documented. It also indicates that there is no co-existing pregnancy within the uterus. This condition is a medical emergency requiring prompt diagnosis and management.

Use this code when the medical record clearly states an ectopic pregnancy but lacks specific details regarding its location (e.g., tubal, ovarian, abdominal). Documentation should confirm the absence of an intrauterine pregnancy, typically through ultrasound findings. This code is appropriate when the provider has not specified the type of ectopic pregnancy.

• Avoid using this code if the specific site of the ectopic pregnancy is documented; instead, code to the most specific location (e.g., O00.1 for tubal).
• Ensure documentation explicitly states "unspecified" or lacks detail regarding the ectopic site to support this code.
• Do not confuse with codes for spontaneous abortion or other types of abnormal pregnancy if an ectopic pregnancy is confirmed.
