Maternal care for intrauterine death, fetus 2

This code signifies medical supervision and management provided to a pregnant patient whose second fetus in a multiple gestation has been diagnosed with intrauterine death (IUD). It specifically applies when the demise of one fetus is identified while the other fetus(es) remain viable.

Use this code when documentation confirms the intrauterine demise of fetus 2 in a multifetal pregnancy, and the mother is receiving ongoing care related to this complication. Supporting documentation should include ultrasound reports confirming fetal demise and clinical notes detailing the maternal care provided.

• Always sequence this code after a code identifying the specific type of multiple gestation (e.g., O30.0-, O30.1-).
• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies "fetus 2" for the intrauterine death to justify this specific subcategory.
• Do not use this code if all fetuses in a multiple gestation have demised; refer to codes for intrauterine death of all fetuses.
