Encounter for other antenatal screening follow-up

This code signifies a follow-up visit for a pregnant patient after an initial antenatal screening test yielded an abnormal or inconclusive result, requiring further evaluation. It indicates that the patient is returning for additional testing, counseling, or monitoring related to a previously identified screening concern during pregnancy.

Use this code when a patient presents for a follow-up appointment after an abnormal or equivocal result from a non-routine antenatal screening, such as a genetic screening (e.g., NIPT, quad screen), a glucose tolerance test, or a fetal anomaly scan. This code is appropriate when the purpose of the visit is to address the findings of that specific screening.

• Always sequence this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific abnormal finding or condition being investigated.
• Do not use this code for routine, uncomplicated antenatal visits or for follow-up of a confirmed diagnosis.
• Ensure documentation clearly specifies the reason for the follow-up and the abnormal screening result being addressed.
