Delayed or excess hemor fol ectopic and molar pregnancy

This code signifies a complication of an ectopic or molar pregnancy where the patient experiences abnormal bleeding, either occurring later than expected or in an excessive amount, after the initial management of the pregnancy. This hemorrhage can manifest as prolonged bleeding or a sudden, heavy bleed, indicating a persistent issue related to the pregnancy event.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates delayed or excessive post-procedural or post-event hemorrhage specifically following an ectopic or molar pregnancy. Supporting documentation would include physician notes detailing the type of pregnancy, the timing and amount of bleeding, and the clinician's assessment linking the hemorrhage to the ectopic or molar pregnancy.

• Ensure documentation explicitly links the hemorrhage to an ectopic or molar pregnancy, not an incomplete abortion.
• Review the medical record for the specific timing and characteristics of the hemorrhage (e.g., "delayed onset," "excessive bleeding").
• Do not code this with O03.1, as per the Excludes1 note, which covers hemorrhage due to incomplete abortion.
