Matern care for abnlt fetl hrt rate or rhym, 3rd tri, fts2

Maternal care for abnormalities of the fetal heart rate or rhythm, third trimester, fetus 2

📋Clinical Description

This code signifies maternal care provided during the third trimester for a second fetus experiencing an abnormal heart rate or rhythm. This includes conditions like fetal bradycardia, tachycardia, or arrhythmias detected during monitoring.

🎯When to Use

Apply this code when the mother is receiving medical management or monitoring specifically due to an identified cardiac rhythm abnormality in the second fetus during the third trimester of pregnancy. Documentation should clearly specify the abnormal fetal heart rate/rhythm and that it pertains to fetus 2.

💡Coding Tips

Ensure the documentation explicitly identifies the affected fetus as "fetus 2" in a multiple gestation pregnancy.
Confirm the encounter occurs during the third trimester (28 weeks gestation to delivery).
Do not use this code for routine fetal heart rate monitoring without an identified abnormality.
