Complete or unsp spontaneous abortion without complication

This code signifies a spontaneous termination of pregnancy that is complete, meaning all products of conception have been expelled, or where the completeness is not specified in the medical record. It specifically applies when there are no reported complications associated with the abortion.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates a spontaneous abortion has occurred and is either complete or the extent of expulsion is not detailed. This code is appropriate when the patient presents with symptoms of miscarriage (e.g., bleeding, cramping) and subsequent evaluation confirms the expulsion of fetal tissue without any noted complications such as infection, hemorrhage, or retained products.

• Do not use this code if any complications are documented; instead, select a more specific O03 subcategory.
• Ensure the documentation specifies "spontaneous" to differentiate from induced abortions (O04.-).
• If the abortion is incomplete, even without complications, a different O03 subcategory should be assigned.
