Unsp infct of urinary tract in pregnancy, third trimester

This code signifies a urinary tract infection (UTI) of an unspecified type occurring during the third trimester of pregnancy. It indicates the presence of a bacterial infection within the urinary system, such as cystitis or pyelonephritis, without further specification of the causative organism or exact location.

Apply this code when documentation confirms a pregnant patient in her third trimester has a UTI, but the specific type of infection (e.g., cystitis, pyelonephritis) or the infecting organism is not documented. This code is appropriate when the provider's diagnosis is simply "UTI in pregnancy, third trimester" without further detail.

• Always sequence this code as a primary diagnosis when the UTI is the reason for the encounter.
• Avoid using this code if a more specific diagnosis of the UTI (e.g., cystitis, pyelonephritis) is documented; instead, use the more precise O23.0- or O23.1- codes.
• Ensure the medical record clearly indicates the patient is in her third trimester of pregnancy.
