Retained uterin contracep dev in pregnancy, second trimester

This code signifies the presence of an intrauterine contraceptive device (IUD) that remains in situ during a pregnancy that has progressed into the second trimester. This situation can pose risks to both the mother and the fetus, necessitating careful monitoring and management.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a pregnant patient in her second trimester with a confirmed retained IUD. This diagnosis is typically supported by ultrasound imaging confirming both the pregnancy and the IUD's presence within the uterus.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states "second trimester" for accurate code assignment.
• Do not use this code if the IUD was removed prior to the second trimester or if the pregnancy is in a different trimester.
• Consider sequencing this code with other relevant codes for complications of pregnancy, if applicable.
