Mat care cnsl malf/damag fts, choroid plexus cysts, fetus 2

This code signifies a pregnancy complicated by the maternal care provided due to the suspicion of a central nervous system malformation or damage in the fetus, specifically choroid plexus cysts, when the pregnancy is carrying a second fetus in a multiple gestation. It indicates that the mother is receiving monitoring or intervention related to this fetal finding.

This code is appropriate when documentation specifies maternal care for suspected choroid plexus cysts in the second fetus of a multiple gestation. It is used when the presence of these cysts is noted during prenatal imaging (e.g., ultrasound) and requires ongoing maternal management or surveillance. Documentation should clearly identify the specific fetus affected.

• Always specify the correct fetus number (1, 2, 3, etc.) when coding for multiple gestations.
• Do not use this code if the choroid plexus cysts are confirmed to be an isolated, normal variant without other CNS anomalies.
• Sequence this code as a secondary diagnosis following the primary reason for the encounter, if applicable, or as the primary diagnosis if the maternal care for the fetal condition is the sole focus.
