Maternal care for retroversion of gravid uterus, third tri

This code signifies medical supervision and management provided to a pregnant patient in her third trimester due to the uterus being tilted backward (retroverted) while carrying the fetus. This condition can lead to complications if not properly monitored, such as urinary retention or pelvic pain.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates maternal care for a retroverted gravid uterus specifically identified during the third trimester of pregnancy. Supporting documentation should include physician notes detailing the diagnosis, trimester, and ongoing management or monitoring related to the uterine position.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states "third trimester" for accurate code assignment.
• Do not use this code if the retroversion is identified in an earlier trimester; specific codes exist for those periods.
• Consider co-reporting with codes for any associated complications, such as urinary tract obstruction (e.g., N13.8) if documented.
