O08 vs O31.1
O08 (Complications following ectopic and molar pregnancy) compared with O31.1 (Continuing pregnancy after spontaneous abortion of one fetus or more), from the official CMS tabular data. Do not report these codes together: the official tabular list marks them Excludes1.
Can these codes be reported together?
No — do not report together. O08 carries an Excludes1 note covering O31.1: “continuing pregnancy in multiple gestation after abortion of one fetus or more (O31.1-, O31.3-)”
Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
