Encounter for pregnancy test, result positive

This code signifies a patient encounter primarily for the purpose of a pregnancy test, where the test result was positive. It indicates the initial confirmation of pregnancy through a diagnostic test, rather than an encounter for established prenatal care or complications.

Use this code when a patient presents specifically for a pregnancy test and the result is positive. This is appropriate for initial visits confirming pregnancy before any comprehensive prenatal care has begun or a definitive diagnosis of pregnancy has been established.

• Do not use this code for subsequent visits once pregnancy is confirmed and prenatal care has commenced.
• This code is typically a primary diagnosis for the encounter.
• Do not use if the pregnancy test was negative (use Z32.02).
