Other hemorrhage in early pregnancy

This code represents any bleeding from the uterus or vagina occurring during the first trimester of pregnancy (up to 13 weeks and 6 days gestation) that is not specifically classified elsewhere. This includes bleeding that is not due to miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, or other specified complications.

Use this code when documentation indicates vaginal bleeding in early pregnancy without a definitive diagnosis of threatened abortion, ectopic pregnancy, or other specific causes. This code is appropriate for cases where the bleeding is considered "other" or "unspecified" after initial evaluation. Documentation should clearly state bleeding in early pregnancy and rule out more specific diagnoses.

• Do not use this code if a more specific diagnosis for the bleeding, such as threatened abortion (O20.0) or ectopic pregnancy (O00.-), is documented.
• Always sequence this code as a primary diagnosis when it is the reason for the encounter.
• Ensure the documentation specifies "early pregnancy" or a gestational age within the first trimester to support its use.
