Mat care other fetl abnlt and damag, fetal card anomal, fts5

This code signifies maternal care provided due to a suspected or confirmed cardiac anomaly in the fifth fetus of a multiple gestation pregnancy. It indicates that the mother is receiving specialized management because of a fetal heart defect identified or suspected during the antenatal period.

Apply this code when documentation specifies maternal care for a fetal cardiac anomaly in the fifth fetus. This includes scenarios where an ultrasound or fetal echocardiogram reveals a structural heart defect, arrhythmia, or other cardiac abnormality in the specified fetus, prompting ongoing maternal monitoring and management.

• Always confirm the specific fetal number (e.g., fetus 5) from the documentation for multiple gestations.
• Do not use this code if the fetal anomaly is not cardiac-related; use the appropriate O35.BXX- code for other anomalies.
• Sequence this code as a secondary diagnosis following the primary reason for the encounter, if applicable.
