Maternal care for incarceration of gravid uterus, first tri

This code signifies medical attention provided to a pregnant patient experiencing an incarcerated gravid uterus during her first trimester. An incarcerated uterus occurs when the enlarging uterus becomes trapped in the sacral hollow, often retroverted, leading to potential complications like urinary retention or pain.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates maternal care for an incarcerated gravid uterus identified and managed within the first trimester of pregnancy. This includes initial diagnosis, monitoring, or interventions specifically for this condition. Documentation should specify the trimester and the diagnosis of uterine incarceration.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states "first trimester" for accurate code assignment.
• Do not confuse with other uterine displacement codes if incarceration is not specifically documented.
• Sequence as a primary diagnosis when the incarceration is the focus of the encounter, or as a secondary diagnosis if managed alongside other pregnancy complications.
