Failed attempted termination of pregnancy w/o complication

This code signifies a situation where an attempt to terminate a pregnancy was made but was unsuccessful, and no complications arose from this failed attempt. It indicates that the pregnancy continued despite the intervention.

Use this code when documentation clearly states that a termination procedure was performed, but the pregnancy was not successfully ended, and the patient did not experience any adverse events or sequelae as a result of the failed procedure. This is typically used in conjunction with codes for the ongoing pregnancy.

• Do not use this code if any complications (e.g., hemorrhage, infection, retained products) are documented; instead, refer to codes within O07.0-O07.3.
• This code is typically a secondary diagnosis, with the primary diagnosis often related to the ongoing pregnancy or the reason for the attempted termination.
• Ensure documentation explicitly states "failed" or "unsuccessful" termination and "without complication."
