Matern care for disproprtn d/t outlet contrctn of pelv, fts3

This code signifies maternal care for a pregnancy complicated by a discrepancy between the size of the fetal head and the maternal pelvis, specifically due to a contracted pelvic outlet. This disproportion creates an obstruction to vaginal delivery, necessitating close monitoring and potential intervention.

Apply this code when documentation indicates a diagnosis of cephalopelvic disproportion (CPD) or fetopelvic disproportion (FPD) attributed to an abnormally small or malformed pelvic outlet. This diagnosis is typically made during the third trimester or labor, often supported by pelvimetry findings or clinical assessment of arrested labor progression.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "outlet contraction" as the cause of disproportion, not other pelvic abnormalities.
• This code is for the maternal condition; a separate code for the fetal condition (e.g., large for gestational age) may be appropriate if documented.
• Sequence this code as a principal diagnosis when it is the primary reason for the encounter, or as a secondary diagnosis when it complicates the pregnancy.
