Cont preg aft elctv fetl rdct of 1 fts or more,1st tri, fts3

This code describes a multifetal pregnancy that has undergone an elective reduction of one or more fetuses during the first trimester, and the remaining pregnancy is continuing with fetus 3. It specifically indicates that the reduction was performed electively, not due to a medical complication of one of the fetuses.

Use this code when documentation clearly states an elective fetal reduction was performed in the first trimester, and the pregnancy is ongoing, with specific reference to fetus 3 as the continuing fetus. This applies to situations where a patient chose to reduce the number of fetuses in a multifetal pregnancy for non-medical reasons.

• Ensure documentation specifies "elective" reduction and the trimester it occurred.
• Verify the continuing fetus is identified as "fetus 3" in the medical record.
• This code requires an additional code for the continuing pregnancy, such as a code from category O30 (Multiple gestation).
