Mat care cnsl malf/damag fts, choroid plexus cysts, fetus 3

This code signifies maternal care provided due to the suspicion or confirmed presence of choroid plexus cysts in a fetus that is in the third trimester of pregnancy. These cysts are fluid-filled structures within the choroid plexus of the brain, which produces cerebrospinal fluid. While often benign and resolving spontaneously, their presence can sometimes be associated with chromosomal abnormalities.

Use this code when a pregnant patient in her third trimester is receiving monitoring, counseling, or further diagnostic evaluation because choroid plexus cysts have been identified or are suspected in the fetus. Documentation should clearly indicate the presence or suspicion of these cysts and the gestational age of the fetus (third trimester).

• Ensure the documentation specifies choroid plexus cysts, not other CNS malformations, as this code is highly specific.
• Verify the gestational age of the fetus is documented as third trimester (28 weeks 0 days to 40 weeks 6 days).
• This code is for maternal care; a separate code may be needed for any fetal diagnostic procedures performed.
