Encounter for suprvsn of normal pregnancy, third trimester

This code signifies a routine prenatal visit for a pregnant patient in her third trimester (28 weeks gestation to delivery) who is experiencing a normal, uncomplicated pregnancy. It indicates that the purpose of the encounter is for ongoing monitoring and management of a healthy pregnancy without any identified risk factors or complications.

Apply this code for regularly scheduled prenatal check-ups during the third trimester when the patient's pregnancy is progressing normally. This includes visits for fetal growth assessment, vital sign monitoring, and patient education without any specific medical concerns or complications being addressed.

• Always confirm the gestational age falls within the third trimester (28+ weeks) for appropriate use.
• Do not use this code if any complications or high-risk factors are being managed; instead, select a more specific code for the complication.
• This code is typically a secondary diagnosis when a procedure code (e.g., for an office visit) is also reported.
