Mat care oth fetl abnlt & damag, fetl upr extrm anomal, fts2

This code signifies maternal care provided due to a suspected or confirmed anomaly of the fetal upper extremities (e.g., arm, hand, fingers) in the second fetus of a multiple gestation pregnancy. This includes conditions like amelia, phocomelia, syndactyly, or polydactyly affecting the arms or hands. The mother is receiving care specifically because of this identified fetal issue.

Use this code when documentation indicates maternal care for a diagnosed or suspected upper extremity anomaly in the second fetus. This applies to scenarios such as abnormal ultrasound findings, genetic testing results, or clinical examination leading to specialized maternal monitoring or management. Documentation should clearly specify the affected fetus as "fetus 2."

• Ensure the documentation clearly identifies the anomaly as affecting the upper extremities and specifies fetus 2.
• Do not use this code for anomalies of the lower extremities or for a single gestation pregnancy.
• Sequence this code as a secondary diagnosis following a code for the primary reason for the encounter, if applicable, or as the primary diagnosis if the maternal care is solely for the fetal anomaly.
