Cont preg aft uterin dth of one fetus or more, 2nd tri, fts3

This code signifies a multifetal pregnancy where one or more fetuses have demised during the second trimester, but at least one other fetus remains viable and the pregnancy is ongoing. It specifically identifies the third fetus as the one that has died.

Apply this code when documentation confirms a multifetal pregnancy, intrauterine fetal demise (IUFD) of one or more fetuses in the second trimester, and the continuation of the pregnancy with at least one live fetus. Ultrasound reports or physician notes explicitly stating the demise of "fetus 3" during the second trimester are necessary for accurate assignment.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies "fetus 3" as the demised fetus, not just "one of the fetuses."
• Verify the gestational age at the time of demise falls within the second trimester (14 weeks 0 days to 27 weeks 6 days).
• This code is for ongoing pregnancies; do not use if the entire pregnancy has terminated.
