O36.5121
ICD-10-CMMaternal care for known or suspected placental insufficiency, second trimester, fetus 1
This diagnosis code indicates that a pregnant patient in her second trimester is receiving specialized medical attention due to concerns about the placenta's ability to adequately support fetal growth and development. This insufficiency can lead to restricted fetal growth or other complications. The "fetus 1" designation specifies that this care pertains to the first fetus in a multiple gestation pregnancy, or the only fetus in a singleton pregnancy.
Assign this code when documentation explicitly states "placental insufficiency" or "uteroplacental insufficiency" and the patient is in her second trimester. This code is appropriate when the provider is actively monitoring the pregnancy, performing additional tests (e.g., serial ultrasounds for growth, Doppler studies), or implementing interventions due to this suspected or confirmed condition.
