Cont preg aft uterin dth of one fts or more, first tri, oth

This code describes a multifetal pregnancy where one or more fetuses have demised in the first trimester, but at least one other fetus remains viable and the pregnancy is ongoing. It indicates a partial fetal loss event occurring early in gestation.

Use this code when documentation confirms a multifetal pregnancy with the demise of one or more fetuses during the first trimester (up to 13 weeks 6 days gestation), and the presence of at least one continuing, viable fetus. Supporting documentation includes ultrasound reports confirming fetal demise and the presence of a live fetus, along with physician notes detailing the gestational age at the time of demise.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies "first trimester" for the fetal demise.
• This code is for the other fetus, implying at least one viable fetus remains.
• Sequence this code as a secondary diagnosis following the code for the primary reason for the encounter, if applicable.
