Fetal anemia and thrombocytopenia, second trimester, unsp

This code signifies the presence of anemia and/or thrombocytopenia in a fetus during the second trimester of pregnancy. These conditions indicate a deficiency in red blood cells or platelets, respectively, in the developing fetus.

This code is appropriate when documentation confirms fetal anemia or thrombocytopenia identified during the second trimester, and the specific type or severity is not further specified or is not applicable for more detailed coding. It is used when the maternal record indicates a diagnosis of these fetal conditions.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "second trimester" for accurate code assignment.
• Do not use this code if a more specific code for the type of fetal anemia or thrombocytopenia (e.g., due to alloimmunization) is available and documented.
• Always sequence this code after the primary obstetric code indicating the reason for the encounter.
