Maternal care for oth fetal problems, second tri, fetus 1

This code signifies specialized obstetric management and monitoring provided to a pregnant patient during her second trimester due to a diagnosed or suspected fetal condition not otherwise specified. It indicates that the care is specifically directed at addressing a particular problem identified in the first fetus of a multiple gestation or a singleton pregnancy.

Use this code when documentation indicates maternal care for a specific, non-routine fetal issue identified between 14 weeks 0 days and 27 weeks 6 days of gestation. Examples include fetal anomalies requiring close surveillance, fetal growth concerns, or other specified fetal complications necessitating maternal intervention or monitoring. The medical record must clearly state the specific fetal problem and the trimester.

• Always specify the exact fetal problem with an additional code, if available, to provide maximum specificity.
• Ensure the documentation clearly identifies the second trimester and which fetus (if multiple gestation) is affected.
• Do not use for routine prenatal care or for fetal problems that have a more specific O36 subcategory.
