Twin liveborn infant, delivered vaginally

This code identifies a liveborn infant who is one of a twin birth and was delivered through the vaginal canal. It signifies the successful birth of one of two babies, specifically noting the mode of delivery.

Apply this code to the medical record of a twin infant born alive via a vaginal delivery. This is typically used on the infant's chart, not the mother's. It is appropriate when documenting the birth event for one of the two babies.

• This code is for the infant's record, not the mother's.
• Ensure documentation clearly states the infant is a twin and the delivery was vaginal.
• Do not use if the delivery was by cesarean section, even if the other twin was delivered vaginally.
