Cont preg aft elctv fetl rdct of 1 fts or more,3rd tri, fts1

This code signifies a multifetal pregnancy that has undergone an elective fetal reduction procedure, resulting in the continuation of the pregnancy into the third trimester with at least one remaining fetus. It specifically identifies the status of the first fetus in such a scenario.

Apply this code when documentation confirms an elective fetal reduction was performed on a multifetal pregnancy, and the patient is now in her third trimester. This code is used to track the outcome of the remaining fetus(es) after the reduction.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "elective fetal reduction" and the gestational age (third trimester) at the time of encounter.
• This code requires an additional character for the fetus number (e.g., X1 for fetus 1, X2 for fetus 2, etc.) to specify which fetus is being described.
• Do not confuse with spontaneous fetal demise in a multifetal pregnancy; this code is specifically for elective reduction.
