Matern care for viable fetus in abd preg, second tri, fts1

This code describes the specialized medical management and monitoring provided to a pregnant patient carrying a viable fetus located outside the uterus within the abdominal cavity, specifically during the second trimester of gestation. This rare and high-risk condition necessitates intensive maternal care to optimize outcomes for both mother and fetus.

Assign this code when documentation clearly indicates an abdominal pregnancy with a confirmed viable fetus in the second trimester. This typically involves ongoing obstetric care, imaging studies confirming the extrauterine location, and clinical assessment of fetal viability. Documentation should specify the trimester and viability.

• Always confirm fetal viability and the specific trimester from the physician's documentation.
• Do not confuse with ectopic pregnancies in other locations (e.g., tubal, ovarian) or non-viable abdominal pregnancies.
• Sequence this code as a primary diagnosis when the abdominal pregnancy is the focus of the encounter, followed by codes for any associated complications or conditions.
