Maternal care for prolapse of gravid uterus, first trimester

This code describes a pregnant patient experiencing a uterine prolapse, specifically when the uterus descends into or beyond the vagina, during her first trimester. This condition can cause discomfort, urinary issues, and potential complications for the pregnancy.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a diagnosis of uterine prolapse in a pregnant patient who is in her first trimester (up to 13 weeks and 6 days gestation). This code is appropriate for encounters where the maternal care is specifically focused on managing or monitoring this prolapse.

• Always verify the trimester of pregnancy; incorrect trimester coding is a common error.
• Ensure documentation specifies "prolapse of gravid uterus" to differentiate from non-gravid uterine prolapse.
• Sequence this code as a primary diagnosis when the prolapse is the main reason for the encounter, or as a secondary diagnosis when it's a co-existing condition being managed.
