Unsp abnormal findings on antenatal screening of mother

This code signifies an abnormal result from a screening test performed during pregnancy, where the specific nature of the abnormality is not documented. It indicates that further investigation may be warranted due to a non-specific finding identified during routine antenatal care.

Use this code when the medical record indicates an abnormal antenatal screening result, but the provider has not specified the exact finding or the specific test that yielded the abnormality. Documentation supporting its use would include a note stating "abnormal antenatal screen" without further detail.

• Avoid using this code if a more specific abnormal finding is documented (e.g., abnormal glucose tolerance test, abnormal ultrasound finding).
• Always query the provider for clarification if a specific abnormal finding is mentioned but not coded, to ensure the highest level of specificity.
• This code is often a temporary code used until a definitive diagnosis or a more specific abnormal finding is identified.
