Preg care for patient w recurrent preg loss, unsp trimester

This code signifies ongoing prenatal care for a pregnant patient who has a history of two or more consecutive pregnancy losses. It indicates that the current pregnancy is being managed with specific attention to the patient's increased risk due to prior recurrent miscarriages, without specifying the trimester of the current pregnancy.

This code is appropriate when a pregnant patient with a documented history of recurrent pregnancy loss (e.g., two or more spontaneous abortions) is receiving routine or specialized prenatal care. Documentation should clearly state the patient's history of recurrent pregnancy loss and the current pregnancy's management in light of this history.

• Do not use if the specific trimester of the current pregnancy is known; instead, use the more specific O26.21, O26.22, or O26.23.
• This code is for the current pregnancy's care, not for the diagnosis of recurrent pregnancy loss itself (which would be N96).
• Always sequence this code as a secondary diagnosis when a more specific code for the current pregnancy's primary reason for encounter is available.
