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

This code signifies an ongoing pregnancy in the first trimester following a procedure where one or more fetuses were electively reduced, specifically identifying the remaining fetus as "fetus 2." This typically occurs in multifetal gestations where the number of viable fetuses is intentionally reduced for medical or maternal health reasons.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a multifetal pregnancy that underwent elective fetal reduction during the first trimester, and the remaining pregnancy is being monitored. The medical record must specify the remaining fetus as "fetus 2" and confirm the reduction was elective.

• Ensure documentation specifies "fetus 2" to differentiate from other remaining fetuses (e.g., fetus 1, fetus 3).
• Confirm the fetal reduction was elective, not spontaneous or due to fetal demise.
• Sequence this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the primary code for the multifetal pregnancy (e.g., O30.0-).
