O08.1 is designated CC for MS-DRG grouping. On inpatient claims, this code can shift the DRG to the with-CC variant when documented as a present-on-admission secondary diagnosis. Hospital CDI programs flag CC opportunities during chart review. Failure to capture this code may leave 30 to 80 percent of the inpatient stay revenue unrealized.
Most O codes require a 7th character indicating trimester (1 = first, 2 = second, 3 = third). Some require fetus identification character. Code O09 (supervision of high-risk pregnancy) is required as a secondary code when applicable.
