Maternal care for benign tumor of corpus uteri, first tri

This code signifies a pregnancy complicated by the presence of a non-cancerous growth originating from the main body of the uterus. This condition is being managed during the initial three months of gestation. The focus is on the maternal care necessitated by the uterine tumor, not the tumor itself.

Apply this code when a pregnant patient in her first trimester receives medical attention or monitoring due to a benign uterine tumor, such as a fibroid. Documentation should clearly indicate the presence of a benign tumor of the corpus uteri and that the patient is in her first trimester of pregnancy.

• Always sequence this code as a primary diagnosis when the benign tumor is the reason for the encounter during pregnancy.
• Do not use this code if the tumor is malignant; refer to codes for malignant neoplasms complicating pregnancy.
• Ensure the medical record specifies "first trimester" to support the specificity of this code.
