Oth maternal infec/parastc diseases comp preg, unsp tri

This code signifies a maternal infection or parasitic disease, not specifically categorized elsewhere, that is adversely affecting a pregnancy. It covers a broad range of infectious conditions that complicate gestation, without specifying the exact trimester of the pregnancy.

Use this code when the medical record documents a maternal infectious or parasitic disease complicating pregnancy, and a more specific ICD-10-CM code for the infection or its impact on pregnancy is unavailable. This code is appropriate when the trimester is not specified or is unknown in the documentation.

• Always attempt to find a more specific code for the infectious disease and its impact on pregnancy before resorting to this unspecified code.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the infection to the pregnancy complication.
• If the trimester is known, select the appropriate trimester-specific code (e.g., O98.811, O98.812, O98.813).
