Cont preg aft uterin dth of one fts or more, third tri, fts4

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

Apply this code when documentation confirms an intrauterine fetal demise (IUFD) of one or more fetuses in a multifetal gestation during the third trimester, and the pregnancy is continuing. Documentation should clearly specify which fetus (e.g., fetus 4) is deceased.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states "third trimester" and identifies the specific deceased fetus (e.g., "fetus 4").
• Do not use this code if the entire pregnancy has terminated or if the demise occurred in an earlier trimester.
• Sequence this code after the primary code for the multifetal pregnancy, if applicable, and before codes for any associated complications.
