Maternal care for breech presentation, unsp

This code signifies antenatal care provided to a pregnant patient when the fetus is in a breech presentation. It indicates that the maternal care is specifically directed at managing this fetal lie, without further specification of the type of breech or if an external cephalic version (ECV) was attempted or successful.

Apply this code for routine prenatal visits where documentation confirms a breech presentation, and the care provided is related to monitoring or planning for this presentation. This code is appropriate when the medical record indicates "breech presentation" without further detail on the specific type (e.g., frank, complete, footling) or when the documentation does not specify if an ECV was performed or attempted.

• Do not use this code if a specific type of breech presentation is documented (e.g., frank breech, footling breech); instead, select the more specific O32.1XX1-O32.1XX9 codes.
• This code is for maternal care for breech presentation, not for the breech presentation itself as a fetal condition.
• Sequence this code as a secondary diagnosis following the code for the primary reason for the encounter, if applicable.
