Matern care for oth or susp poor fetl grth, 2nd tri, unsp

This code signifies medical supervision and intervention for a pregnant patient in her second trimester when there is documented concern for the fetus not growing at an expected rate, but the specific cause is not identified or is not applicable. It indicates that the poor fetal growth is known or suspected, requiring ongoing maternal care.

Apply this code when documentation indicates a diagnosis of suspected or confirmed poor fetal growth during the second trimester (weeks 14-27+6 days gestation), and the specific etiology of the growth restriction is not specified or is not relevant to the current encounter. This is appropriate for encounters focused on monitoring fetal growth, performing follow-up ultrasounds, or managing the maternal aspects of this condition.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies "poor fetal growth" or "fetal growth restriction" and the second trimester.
• Do not use this code if a specific cause for the poor fetal growth is identified; instead, code the specific condition (e.g., placental insufficiency).
• This code is for maternal care; a separate code for the fetal condition (e.g., P05.1-) would be used for the newborn record if applicable.
