Matern care for oth or susp poor fetl grth, 2nd tri, fts3

This code signifies maternal care provided due to concerns about a fetus experiencing suboptimal growth during the second trimester of pregnancy. It indicates that the specific fetus identified as "fetus 3" is suspected or confirmed to have poor growth, necessitating medical management and monitoring. This condition can be indicative of underlying fetal or placental issues.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates maternal care for poor fetal growth (e.g., intrauterine growth restriction, small for gestational age) affecting the third fetus in a multiple gestation pregnancy during the 14th to 27th week. Supporting documentation should include ultrasound findings, fundal height measurements, or clinical assessments prompting intervention or increased surveillance for this specific fetus.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly identifies "fetus 3" as the affected fetus in a multiple gestation.
• Confirm the gestational age falls within the second trimester (14 weeks 0 days to 27 weeks 6 days).
• Always sequence this code as a secondary diagnosis following the code for the specific type of poor fetal growth (e.g., O36.51- for suspected fetal growth restriction).
