Mat care other fetl abnlt and damag, fetal card anomal, fts3

This code signifies ongoing maternal medical care and surveillance due to a suspected or confirmed cardiac anomaly in the third fetus of a multiple gestation pregnancy. It indicates that the mother is receiving specialized attention because of a potential heart defect identified in one of her fetuses.

Use this code when documentation specifies maternal care for a fetal cardiac anomaly in the third fetus of a triplet or higher-order pregnancy. This typically involves situations where ultrasound or fetal echocardiography has identified a structural heart defect or arrhythmia, prompting increased monitoring and management during the antenatal period.

• Always confirm the specific fetus (e.g., fetus 1, 2, 3, etc.) and the type of fetal abnormality documented.
• Do not use this code for unspecified fetal abnormalities; ensure "cardiac anomaly" is explicitly stated.
• Sequence this code as a secondary diagnosis following the primary reason for the encounter, if applicable.
