Matern care for disproprtn due to hydrocephalic fetus, fts2

This code signifies a pregnancy complicated by the fetus having hydrocephalus, leading to a disproportion between the fetal head and the maternal pelvis. This condition necessitates specialized maternal care to manage the pregnancy and delivery, often due to concerns about cephalopelvic disproportion (CPD). The "2" in the code indicates this is the second fetus in a multiple gestation.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states maternal care is provided for disproportion caused by fetal hydrocephalus in a twin pregnancy, specifically for the second twin. This diagnosis is typically made via ultrasound and confirmed by a physician's assessment of potential delivery complications.

• Ensure documentation specifies "fetus 2" in a multiple gestation; otherwise, use the code for a single fetus or unspecified fetus.
• Do not confuse with codes for other types of fetal disproportion (e.g., due to macrosomia) or codes for fetal hydrocephalus without documented disproportion.
• Sequence this code as a secondary diagnosis following the code for the primary reason for the encounter, if applicable, and any codes for the outcome of delivery.
