ICD-10-CM Y76 Coding for Obstetric and Gynecological Devices

ICD-10-CM Code For Obstetric And Gynecological Devices Associated With Adverse Incidents: Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) code group Y76 includes adverse incidents and complications associated with obstetric and gynecological devices, covering device malfunctions, device-related injuries, and complications during reproductive health care and childbirth. These ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes are used to document clinical scenarios involving device-associated harm, capturing device involvement, severity of complication, and any related organ or tissue injury. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-CM Y76 group supports proper claim adjudication and complete clinical documentation for appropriate reimbursement.

ICD-10-CM Y76: Obstetric And Gynecological Devices Associated With Adverse Incidents Overview

This diagnosis group represents adverse incidents related to obstetric and gynecological devices, including complications from devices used in reproductive health and childbirth. It targets the reproductive system and procedures involving devices such as intrauterine devices, surgical implants, and delivery-related tools. Accurate coding matters for reimbursement because it documents device-related complications that affect claim adjudication and resource utilization.

ICD-10-CM Codes

5 rows

ICD-10-CM Code	Description
Y76.0	Diagnostic and monitoring obstetric and gynecological devices associated with adverse incidents
Y76.1	Therapeutic (nonsurgical) and rehabilitative obstetric and gynecological devices associated with adverse incidents
Y76.2	Prosthetic and other implants, materials and accessory obstetric and gynecological devices associated with adverse incidents
Y76.3	Surgical instruments, materials and obstetric and gynecological devices (including sutures) associated with adverse incidents
Y76.8	Miscellaneous obstetric and gynecological devices associated with adverse incidents, not elsewhere classified

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A reproductive-age woman presents to the emergency department with severe lower abdominal pain and fever two days after insertion of an intrauterine device (IUD). Physical exam shows cervical motion tenderness and purulent discharge; imaging suggests the device is malpositioned and there is concern for pelvic infection related to the device. A diagnosis from this group is assigned to indicate an adverse incident involving an obstetric/gynecologic device contributing to infection and malposition. Typical codes: Y76.0, Y76.3
A postpartum patient undergoing routine follow-up reports persistent pelvic pain and abnormal bleeding several weeks after placement of a retained surgical sponge during cesarean delivery. Evaluation reveals chronic inflammatory response and the need for operative removal of the retained material. A code from this group is used to record the adverse incident due to a retained obstetric device causing ongoing morbidity. Typical codes: Y76.1, Y76.8
A woman in a clinic returns with acute urinary retention and pelvic organ prolapse symptoms after a transvaginal mesh procedure done months earlier; examination shows mesh erosion into the vaginal wall and recurrent infections requiring urgent removal. The encounter is coded with a device-associated adverse incident to capture the complication of the gynecologic implant necessitating additional interventions. Typical codes: Y76.2, Y76.3
