Cont preg aft elctv fetl rdct of 1 fts or more,unsp tri,fts2

This code describes a continuing pregnancy in which one or more fetuses were electively reduced, and the remaining fetus is designated as Fetus 2. This typically occurs in multifetal gestations where the number of fetuses is intentionally reduced for medical or personal reasons.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a multifetal pregnancy that underwent elective fetal reduction, and the pregnancy is ongoing with Fetus 2 identified as the continuing fetus. This code is used in conjunction with other codes to specify the outcome of the reduction and the status of the remaining pregnancy.

• Always sequence this code after the primary obstetric code for the continuing pregnancy.
• Ensure the medical record explicitly identifies "Fetus 2" as the continuing fetus after reduction.
• Do not confuse with spontaneous fetal demise or reduction for medical necessity (e.g., selective termination due to anomaly).
