Cont preg aft elctv fetl rdct of 1 fts or more,1st tri, fts5

This code describes a multifetal pregnancy that has undergone an elective reduction of one or more fetuses during the first trimester, and the pregnancy is continuing with fetus 5 remaining. This procedure is typically performed to improve the chances of survival and reduce morbidity for the remaining fetuses.

Use this code when a patient presents with a continuing multifetal pregnancy after an elective fetal reduction procedure performed in the first trimester, and the documentation specifically identifies the continuing fetus as fetus 5. This code requires clear documentation of the fetal reduction, the gestational age at the time of reduction, and the specific fetus being tracked.

• Ensure documentation specifies "elective" fetal reduction; differentiate from spontaneous reduction.
• Verify the trimester of the fetal reduction and the specific fetus number (e.g., fetus 5) from the medical record.
• Always sequence this code after the primary code for the multifetal pregnancy (e.g., O30.1-).
