Cont preg aft elctv fetl rdct of 1 fts or more,2nd tri, fts2

This code describes a multifetal pregnancy that has continued into the second trimester following the selective termination of one or more fetuses. This procedure is typically performed to improve the outcomes for the remaining fetuses or the pregnant individual.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a history of elective fetal reduction in a multifetal pregnancy, and the pregnancy is now in the second trimester with at least two fetuses remaining. The medical record must specify that the reduction was elective and identify the continuing fetus as "fetus 2" (or the second identified fetus in a multiple gestation).

• Ensure the documentation specifies "elective" fetal reduction; do not use for spontaneous fetal demise.
• Verify the gestational age falls within the second trimester (14 weeks 0 days to 27 weeks 6 days).
• Correctly identify the specific fetus (e.g., fetus 2, fetus 3, etc.) as documented by the provider.
