Matern care for oth or susp poor fetl grth, third tri, fts2

This code signifies maternal care provided due to concerns of inadequate fetal growth in the third trimester for the second fetus in a multiple gestation pregnancy. It indicates that the healthcare provider is actively monitoring or managing the pregnancy because the growth of fetus 2 is suspected or confirmed to be suboptimal.

Apply this code when documentation indicates maternal care for a multifetal pregnancy in the third trimester where one fetus (specifically fetus 2) is experiencing or is suspected of experiencing poor growth. This would include scenarios such as intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) or small for gestational age (SGA) for fetus 2, requiring increased surveillance or intervention.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "fetus 2" and the third trimester for accurate assignment.
• Do not use this code if the poor fetal growth is for fetus 1 or an unspecified fetus in a multiple gestation.
• Always sequence this code as a principal diagnosis when it is the primary reason for the encounter, or as a secondary diagnosis if it is a co-morbidity affecting the management of the pregnancy.
