Suprvsn of high risk preg due to social problems, third tri

This code signifies the ongoing medical oversight of a pregnancy in its third trimester that is deemed high-risk specifically due to social determinants impacting maternal or fetal well-being. These social problems can include factors such as homelessness, lack of social support, domestic violence, or substance abuse. The supervision aims to mitigate potential adverse outcomes stemming from these non-medical challenges.

Apply this code when a pregnant patient in her third trimester requires increased monitoring and intervention because social issues are complicating her pregnancy. Documentation should clearly articulate the specific social problems identified and the heightened level of care or surveillance provided as a direct result. This code is typically used in conjunction with other codes describing the specific social problems (e.g., Z codes).

• Always sequence this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the primary reason for the encounter or the specific social problem.
• Ensure the medical record explicitly states "third trimester" and details the social problems necessitating high-risk supervision.
• Do not confuse with codes for high-risk pregnancy due to medical conditions; this code is exclusively for social problems.
