I have a patient who was induced due to hypertension related to her pregnancy, the induction resulted in a vaginal delivery with a single live newborn. ICD-10 indicates that O80 should only be used if there are no complications. The delivery itself was uncomplicated and the babe was born the same day as induction. If O80 is inappropriate to use, then what diagnosis would be appropriate for the delivery?
 
You would use an O13-O16 code depending on documentation, and since there is no in childbirth option you use the trimester when birth occurs.
