24 weeks gestation of pregnancy

This code signifies a pregnancy that has reached precisely 24 completed weeks of gestation. It indicates the current gestational age of the fetus(es) at the time of the encounter, based on the last menstrual period (LMP) or early ultrasound measurements. This stage represents the beginning of the period of viability for a fetus.

This code is used for encounters where the gestational age of the pregnancy is determined to be exactly 24 weeks. This commonly occurs during routine prenatal check-ups, obstetric ultrasounds, or when managing conditions specific to this stage of pregnancy. It is crucial for tracking fetal development and guiding appropriate medical interventions.

• Always confirm the exact gestational age documented by the provider.
• Do not use this code if the gestational age is documented as 23 weeks 6 days or 24 weeks 1 day; there are specific codes for those.
• Combine with other codes to describe any complications or conditions affecting the pregnancy at this gestational age.
