Maternal care for damage to fetus from alcohol, fetus 2

This code signifies maternal care provided due to a confirmed or suspected adverse effect on a twin fetus (fetus 2) resulting from the mother's alcohol consumption during pregnancy. This includes conditions like fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) or other alcohol-related birth defects.

Apply this code when documentation indicates the mother received care specifically because of concerns or diagnoses related to alcohol's impact on the second twin. This is appropriate when the medical record clearly states maternal alcohol use and its suspected or confirmed detrimental effect on fetus 2.

• Always sequence this code after a code identifying the specific fetal condition or anomaly, if known.
• Ensure documentation specifies "fetus 2" to differentiate from other fetuses in a multiple gestation.
• Do not use this code if the alcohol exposure is documented but no damage or suspected damage to the fetus is noted.
