Maternal care for viable fetus in abd preg, third tri, unsp

This code signifies ongoing maternal care for a pregnancy where a viable fetus is developing outside the uterus, specifically within the abdominal cavity, during the third trimester. It indicates that the pregnancy has progressed to a stage where fetal viability is a primary concern, despite the ectopic implantation.

Use this code when a pregnant patient in her third trimester is receiving medical management for a confirmed abdominal pregnancy with a living fetus. Documentation should clearly state "abdominal pregnancy," "ectopic pregnancy, abdominal," or similar, along with the gestational age indicating the third trimester and confirmation of fetal viability.

• Ensure documentation specifies "third trimester" and "viable fetus" to support this specific code.
• Do not use this code for abdominal pregnancies that are not viable or are in earlier trimesters; specific codes exist for those scenarios.
• Always sequence this code as a primary diagnosis when it is the focus of the encounter, followed by any associated complications.
