Preg care for patient w recurrent preg loss, third trimester

This code signifies ongoing antenatal care for a pregnant patient who has a documented history of two or more previous spontaneous abortions or fetal losses, specifically when the current pregnancy is in the third trimester. It indicates the heightened surveillance and management required due to the increased risk associated with recurrent pregnancy loss.

Apply this code when a patient with a history of recurrent pregnancy loss is receiving routine or specialized prenatal care during their third trimester. Documentation should clearly state the patient's history of recurrent pregnancy loss and confirm the current gestational age falls within the third trimester (typically beginning at 28 weeks).

• Always sequence this code after the primary obstetric code indicating the current pregnancy status (e.g., Z3A.xx for gestational age).
• Ensure documentation explicitly states "recurrent pregnancy loss" and the current trimester to support code assignment.
• Do not confuse with codes for threatened abortion or current complications of pregnancy; this code is for care related to a history of recurrent loss.
