Mat care other fetl abnlt and damag, fetal card anomal, fts4

This code signifies maternal care provided due to a suspected or confirmed cardiac anomaly in the fourth fetus of a multiple gestation pregnancy. It indicates that the mother is receiving specialized obstetric management because of concerns regarding the development or function of the fetal heart.

Use this code when documentation specifies maternal care for a cardiac abnormality identified in the fourth fetus. This typically arises from prenatal diagnostic imaging, such as a fetal echocardiogram, or other antenatal assessments. The medical record should clearly identify the specific fetus (fourth) and the nature of the suspected or confirmed cardiac issue.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly identifies the "fourth fetus" in a multiple gestation.
• Do not use this code if the cardiac anomaly is in a different fetus or if the pregnancy is singleton.
• Sequence this code as a secondary diagnosis following the primary obstetric code for the encounter.
