Supervision of high-risk pregnancy with history of infertility

This code signifies a pregnancy that is considered high-risk due to a patient's prior history of infertility. It indicates that the pregnancy requires closer monitoring and specialized management to optimize outcomes, stemming from the challenges faced in achieving conception.

This code is appropriate for documenting the ongoing care and supervision of a pregnant patient who has a confirmed history of infertility, regardless of how conception occurred (e.g., natural, ART). It should be used when the infertility history itself contributes to the high-risk status of the current pregnancy.

• Always sequence this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the current pregnancy (e.g., V22.0, V22.1).
• Ensure documentation clearly supports the history of infertility and its impact on the current pregnancy's risk assessment.
• Do not use this code if the infertility history is not explicitly contributing to the current high-risk status or if the patient is not currently pregnant.
