    ICD-10-CM Code For Stillbirth: Group Overview

    The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) code group P95 includes diagnoses for fetal death and stillbirths occurring in the perinatal period, capturing instances where a fetus is born with no signs of life at or after the specified gestational age. These ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes are used to document perinatal mortality events, associated maternal and fetal complications, and the clinical circumstances surrounding fetal demise. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-CM P95 group supports proper claim adjudication, complete clinical documentation, and appropriate reimbursement.

    ICD-10-CM P95: Stillbirth Overview

    The diagnosis codes in this group represent fetal death at or after 20 weeks of gestation, commonly reported as stillbirth, and relate to perinatal mortality rather than live-born neonatal conditions. These codes target outcomes originating in the perinatal period and are used in obstetric and perinatal care documentation. Accurate coding matters for clinical records, public health reporting, and appropriate reimbursement related to maternity and postnatal services.

    When to Use

    Use a code from this group when a fetus is delivered with no signs of life and the documentation indicates fetal death consistent with stillbirth definitions. Assign these codes in obstetric and perinatal encounters where the clinical record specifies fetal demise at or beyond the gestational age threshold.

    Typical Clinical Scenarios

    • A woman presents to the labor and delivery unit after decreased fetal movement and no fetal heart tones are detected on Doppler in the third trimester; ultrasound confirms absence of fetal cardiac activity consistent with intrauterine fetal death. She is admitted for management of delivery and emotional support; a diagnosis from this group is assigned to document the stillbirth event and for perinatal record keeping. Typical codes: P95.
    • A pregnant patient in early labor arrives at the emergency department with catastrophic placental abruption resulting in fetal demise before delivery; maternal stabilization and prompt delivery are undertaken. The fetal death is recorded as part of the perinatal outcome, and a code from this group is used on the newborn/perinatal record to denote the stillbirth. Typical codes: P95.
    • A patient with a known intrauterine fetal demise identified at a routine prenatal visit is scheduled for induction of labor and delivery while being monitored for coagulopathy and emotional distress; the encounter focuses on managing maternal complications of fetal death and arranging appropriate documentation and bereavement resources. The stillborn outcome is coded on the perinatal record using a code from this group. Typical codes: P95.
