About coding cesarean wound dehiscence
The ICD-10-CM code for cesarean wound dehiscence is O90.0 (Disruption of cesarean delivery wound).
Within O90 (complications of the puerperium, not elsewhere classified), O90.0 is specifically for disruption of cesarean delivery wound. Related codes cover disruption of perineal obstetric wound (O90.1), hematoma of obstetric wound (O90.2), Peripartum cardiomyopathy (O90.3), postpartum acute kidney failure (O90.4), postpartum thyroiditis (O90.5), postpartum mood disturbance (O90.6), other complications of the puerperium, not elsewhere classified (O90.8) and complication of the puerperium, unspecified (O90.9).
Don't report O90.0 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: rupture of uterus (spontaneous) before onset of labor (O71.0-) and rupture of uterus during labor (O71.1).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
Don't confuse with (Excludes1 for O90.0)
