Mat care other fetl abnlt and damag, fetal card anomal, fts2

This code signifies maternal care provided due to a suspected or confirmed cardiac anomaly in the second fetus of a multiple gestation pregnancy. This includes a broad range of fetal heart defects identified during prenatal screening or diagnostic testing. The mother is receiving medical attention specifically because of this fetal condition.

Use this code when documentation indicates maternal management for a cardiac abnormality (e.g., septal defect, hypoplastic left heart syndrome, transposition of great arteries) affecting the second fetus. This applies when the mother is undergoing monitoring, counseling, or planning for delivery due to this specific fetal cardiac issue. Documentation should clearly specify "fetus 2" and the nature of the cardiac anomaly.

• Always confirm the specific fetus (1, 2, 3, etc.) to ensure correct code assignment in multiple gestations.
• This code is for the maternal record; the fetal condition itself would be coded separately on the infant's record after birth.
• Sequence this code as a secondary diagnosis following the primary reason for the encounter, if applicable, or as the primary diagnosis if the encounter is solely for management of this fetal condition.
