Severe maternal morbidity (SMM) is considered as a near miss for maternal death, therefore it is crucial to identify and prevent SMM. Medical insurance claims can be used to identify SMM. There was a national transition from the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) to International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, Clinical Modification/Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-CM/PCS) in October 2015.
