Preg care for patient w recur preg loss, second trimester

This code signifies ongoing prenatal care for a pregnant patient who has a history of two or more consecutive spontaneous abortions, and is currently in her second trimester of the current pregnancy. It indicates a heightened level of monitoring and management due to the increased risk of pregnancy loss.

Apply this code when a pregnant patient with a documented history of recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is receiving prenatal care during her second trimester. Documentation should clearly state the patient's RPL history and the current gestational age falling within the second trimester (typically weeks 13-27).

• Always sequence this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the primary code for the current pregnancy (e.g., Z34.xx).
• Ensure documentation specifies "recurrent" pregnancy loss, not just a single prior loss.
• Do not use if the patient is in her first or third trimester; specific codes exist for those trimesters.
