Term delivery with preterm labor, unsp trimester, fetus 3

This code describes a delivery that occurs at term (37 weeks 0 days gestation or later) but was preceded by the onset of preterm labor (labor before 37 weeks 0 days gestation). The specific trimester when the preterm labor occurred is not documented, and this code applies to the third fetus in a multiple gestation pregnancy.

Use this code when a patient experiences preterm labor but ultimately delivers at term, and the documentation does not specify the trimester of the preterm labor. This code is specifically for the third fetus in a multifetal pregnancy. Ensure the medical record clearly indicates both preterm labor and a term delivery for the third fetus.

• Always sequence this code after the primary obstetric code indicating the type of delivery.
• Verify the documentation explicitly states "preterm labor" and "term delivery" for the third fetus.
• Do not use this code if the delivery was actually preterm; instead, select an appropriate O60.1x code.
