Twin liveborn infant, born outside hospital

This code signifies the birth of one of a set of twins, where the infant was born alive and the delivery occurred in a location other than a hospital. This typically implies an unplanned or emergent out-of-hospital delivery for one of the twin neonates.

Use this code when documenting the birth of a live twin who was delivered, for example, at home, in an ambulance, or at another non-hospital facility. This code is assigned to the infant's record, not the mother's. It's crucial to distinguish this from a stillbirth or a single birth outside a hospital.

• Always assign this code to the infant's chart.
• Ensure documentation clearly specifies a live birth and twin status, along with the out-of-hospital location.
• Remember to also code for the other twin's birth status and location, as well as any relevant conditions of the newborn.
