(Induced) termination of pregnancy with unsp complications

This code signifies a medical termination of pregnancy where the specific nature of any associated complications is not documented or is unknown. It indicates that while complications occurred, their precise type (e.g., hemorrhage, infection, embolism) is not specified in the patient's record.

Use this code when the medical record clearly states an induced termination of pregnancy occurred and mentions "complications" without further detail. This code is appropriate when the provider's documentation lacks specificity regarding the type of complication, or when the complication is still under investigation and not yet definitively diagnosed.

• Avoid using this code if any specific complication (e.g., O04.6 for delayed or excessive hemorrhage) is documented; always code to the highest level of specificity.
• Review the entire medical record, including operative reports and discharge summaries, for any mention of specific complications before defaulting to "unspecified."
• This code should be a last resort when no further information about the complication can be obtained from the documentation or queried from the provider.
