V23.5
ICD-9-CMThis code signifies the medical management and oversight of a pregnancy in a patient who has a history of adverse reproductive outcomes, excluding those specifically categorized elsewhere. It indicates that the current pregnancy is considered high-risk due to past obstetric complications such as recurrent miscarriages, stillbirths, or other significant reproductive failures.
Apply this code when a pregnant patient is receiving specialized care due to a history of poor reproductive outcomes that are not covered by more specific high-risk pregnancy codes. This includes situations where the patient has experienced multiple early pregnancy losses, unexplained infertility leading to previous failed pregnancies, or a history of fetal anomalies in prior pregnancies without a current specific diagnosis.
