Maternal care for prolapse of gravid uterus, second tri

This code signifies medical supervision and management provided to a pregnant patient experiencing a prolapsed uterus during the second trimester of gestation. Uterine prolapse occurs when the uterus descends into or protrudes from the vagina. This code specifically indicates that the pregnancy is the primary reason for the maternal care related to the prolapse.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states maternal care for uterine prolapse occurring between 14 weeks 0 days and 27 weeks 6 days of pregnancy. This includes scenarios where the prolapse is newly diagnosed or an existing condition requiring ongoing management due to the gravid state. Supporting documentation should specify the trimester and the nature of the maternal care provided.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states "second trimester" to differentiate from first or third trimester codes.
• Do not confuse with codes for non-gravid uterine prolapse (N81.x) or prolapse occurring postpartum.
• Sequence this code as the primary diagnosis when the maternal care is specifically for the management of the uterine prolapse during pregnancy.
