Maternal care for excess fetal growth, first tri, fetus 5

This code signifies a pregnancy complicated by a fetus exhibiting excessive growth (e.g., large for gestational age, macrosomia) when the mother is in her first trimester. It indicates that the maternal care provided is specifically due to this fetal growth abnormality.

Apply this code when a pregnant patient in her first trimester is receiving medical attention because her fetus is identified as growing excessively. Documentation should clearly state the gestational age, the finding of excessive fetal growth, and that the care is related to this condition.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "first trimester" for accurate trimester assignment.
• Verify that the medical record explicitly identifies "fetus 5" if this is a multiple gestation.
• Code any associated maternal conditions or complications that contribute to the excessive fetal growth (e.g., gestational diabetes) as additional diagnoses.
