Cont preg aft uterin dth of one fts or more, third tri, fts5

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

Apply this code when documentation confirms a multifetal gestation, one or more fetuses have been diagnosed with intrauterine fetal demise (IUFD) in the third trimester, and the pregnancy is still ongoing with at least one live fetus. Documentation must clearly specify that the demised fetus is the fifth in the sequence.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly identifies the demised fetus as "fetus 5" in a multifetal pregnancy.
• This code is for the continuing pregnancy; do not use it if all fetuses have demised or if the pregnancy has concluded.
• Sequence this code as a secondary diagnosis following the primary code for the multifetal pregnancy (e.g., O30.1- for twin pregnancy).
