Encntr for testing of male prtnr of pt w recur preg loss

This code signifies an encounter where a male patient is being evaluated for potential factors contributing to his female partner's history of multiple miscarriages. The focus is on identifying male-specific reproductive or genetic issues that may be linked to recurrent pregnancy loss.

Apply this code when the male partner of a patient experiencing recurrent pregnancy loss undergoes diagnostic testing, such as semen analysis, genetic screening, or hormonal evaluation. This includes initial consultations and subsequent visits for test results and further workup related to this specific concern.

• Always sequence this code as a primary diagnosis when the male partner is the patient and the reason for the encounter is recurrent pregnancy loss in his partner.
• Do not use this code if the male partner is being evaluated for his own infertility without a specific link to his partner's recurrent pregnancy loss.
• Consider additional codes for any specific findings or conditions identified during the evaluation, such as male factor infertility (N46.-) or genetic abnormalities.
