ICD-10-CM Code For Other Obstructed Labor: Group Overview
The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) code group O66 includes obstructed labor from causes other than pelvic disproportion or malpresentation, such as impaction of the fetal head, failed attempt at assisted delivery, or other specified mechanical obstructions encountered during labor. These ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes are used to document intrapartum complications that reflect the cause of obstruction, any associated procedures or interventions, and the clinical complexity of the delivery. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-CM O66 group supports proper claim adjudication, complete clinical documentation, and appropriate reimbursement.
