Wiki ICD-10 code for encounter for delivery for a PT over the age of 55?

Does anyone know if there is an ICD-10 code for encounter for delivery for a PT over the age of 55? Getting a denial stating age limit on O80 is from ages 12-55.
Pt was 56 years old @ time of delivery! Any insight is appreciated!

There really is nothing specific to over 55, the only thing I can think of is O09.5xx -Supervision of elderly primigravida or mutigravida. Not sure if that will work, it just states: pregnancy for a female 35 years and older at expected date of delivery. You might have to call the payor and talk to someone.
