O44 vs O67
O44 (Placenta previa) compared with O67 (Labor and delivery complicated by intrapartum hemorrhage, not elsewhere classified), 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. O67 carries an Excludes1 note covering O44: “placenta previa (O44.-)”
Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
