Maternal care for face, brow and chin presentation, fetus 3

This code signifies a pregnancy where the fetus is presenting with its face, brow, or chin as the leading part during labor or delivery, requiring specific maternal care. This malpresentation can complicate vaginal delivery and may necessitate interventions or a cesarean section.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a fetal face, brow, or chin presentation has been identified and is being managed by the obstetrician. This includes cases where the presentation is noted during antenatal care, during labor, or at the time of delivery. Documentation should specify the type of presentation and the maternal care provided.

• Ensure the medical record explicitly states "face presentation," "brow presentation," or "chin presentation" of the fetus.
• This code is for maternal care related to the presentation; additional codes may be needed for specific delivery complications or procedures.
• Verify the correct final character for the fetus number (e.g., "3" for fetus 3 in a multiple gestation).
