Maternal care for prolapse of gravid uterus, third trimester

This code signifies medical attention provided to a pregnant patient in her third trimester who is experiencing a uterine prolapse. This condition involves the uterus descending from its normal position into the vaginal canal while the patient is pregnant.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a diagnosis of uterine prolapse occurring during the third trimester of pregnancy, and the patient is receiving care specifically for this condition. Supporting documentation would include physician notes detailing the prolapse and the gestational age.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states "third trimester" for accurate code assignment.
• Distinguish from prolapse occurring in earlier trimesters, which would use different O34.5x codes.
• Code any associated complications of the prolapse or pregnancy separately.
