Encounter for procreative genetic counseling

This code signifies a patient encounter focused on discussing genetic risks related to future reproduction. It involves counseling individuals or couples about potential hereditary conditions that could be passed to offspring and exploring options for family planning.

Apply this code when a patient or couple seeks advice regarding genetic factors before or during pregnancy planning. This includes situations where there's a family history of genetic disorders, advanced maternal or paternal age, or concerns about carrier status for specific conditions.

• This code is for the counseling encounter itself, not for any genetic testing performed.
• Use in conjunction with codes for any identified genetic conditions (e.g., family history codes) if applicable.
• Do not use for general prenatal counseling without a specific genetic focus.
