Maternal care for incarceration of gravid uterus, unsp tri

This code signifies maternal care provided for a gravid uterus that has become entrapped or "stuck" within the pelvic cavity, preventing its normal ascent into the abdomen. This incarceration can lead to various complications for both the mother and the fetus. The "unspecified trimester" indicates that the specific gestational period of the incarceration is not documented.

Use this code when the medical record explicitly documents maternal care for an incarcerated gravid uterus, and the trimester of pregnancy at the time of diagnosis or treatment is not specified. This typically applies to initial evaluations, monitoring, or interventions for this condition when the exact gestational age is unknown or not recorded.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "incarceration of gravid uterus" and that the trimester is indeed unspecified.
• Do not use this code if the trimester is known; instead, select the appropriate trimester-specific code (O34.511, O34.512, O34.513).
• Sequence this code as a primary diagnosis when the incarceration is the main reason for the encounter.
