Maternal care for benign tumor of corpus uteri, third tri

This code signifies medical supervision and management provided to a pregnant patient in her third trimester who has a benign tumor of the uterine body. This typically refers to uterine fibroids (leiomyomas) that are present during pregnancy and require monitoring or intervention. The focus is on the maternal care necessitated by the presence of this uterine growth.

Apply this code when a pregnant patient in her third trimester is receiving care specifically due to a benign uterine tumor, such as a fibroid. Documentation should clearly indicate the presence of the benign tumor, the gestational trimester, and the ongoing maternal care related to this condition. This code is used when the fibroid is not causing complications but requires surveillance.

• Always confirm the specific trimester of pregnancy from the medical record.
• Do not use this code if the benign tumor is causing an obstetric complication; instead, refer to codes in category O34.1- with a fifth character indicating the complication.
• Sequence this code as a primary diagnosis when the maternal care is primarily for the benign uterine tumor.
