Single liveborn infant, unspecified as to place of birth

This code identifies a newborn who was delivered as a single birth and is alive at the time of discharge or initial assessment, but the specific location of the birth (e.g., hospital, birthing center, home) is not documented. It signifies a live, singleton birth event without further detail regarding the delivery setting.

This code is appropriate for newborns where the medical record confirms a single live birth but lacks information about where the birth occurred. It is often used in cases of out-of-hospital births where the infant is subsequently brought to a medical facility, and the exact place of delivery is unknown or not recorded.

• Only use when the place of birth is genuinely unspecified in the documentation.
• Do not use if the documentation clearly states an in-hospital or out-of-hospital birth location.
• This code is for the infant's record, not the mother's.
