Antepartum hemorrhage w oth coag defect, second trimester

This code signifies bleeding from the genital tract occurring during the second trimester of pregnancy, specifically when an underlying systemic coagulation defect, other than disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), is identified as a contributing factor. This includes conditions like hemophilia, von Willebrand disease, or acquired coagulopathies.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates antepartum hemorrhage between 14 weeks 0 days and 27 weeks 6 days gestation, and a specific coagulation disorder (excluding DIC) is diagnosed and linked to the bleeding. Supporting documentation would include obstetric notes detailing the bleeding episode, gestational age, and laboratory results confirming the coagulation defect.

• Ensure the coagulation defect is explicitly stated and not merely suspected.
• Verify the gestational age falls within the second trimester (14+0 to 27+6 weeks).
• Do not use this code if the coagulation defect is DIC; a different code would apply for that specific condition.
