ICD-10-CM O60: Preterm Labor Overview
The diagnoses in this group represent episodes of labor that begin before 37 completed weeks of gestation and their immediate complications. They target the obstetric and maternal-fetal systems, addressing uterine contractions, cervical change, and threatened versus active preterm delivery. Accurate coding matters for reimbursement because it documents clinical severity, guides appropriate claim processing, and supports maternal and neonatal care planning.
