Twin birth, mate stillborn, born outside hospital and not hospitalized

This code identifies a twin birth where one twin was born alive and the other was stillborn. The birth occurred outside of a hospital setting, and the mother was not subsequently admitted to a hospital for delivery or immediate postpartum care.

Apply this code when documenting a twin delivery that took place in an out-of-hospital environment (e.g., home birth, en route to hospital) where one twin was stillborn and the other was live-born. This code is specifically for cases where there was no hospital admission associated with the delivery.

• Ensure documentation clearly states the birth was outside a hospital and no subsequent hospitalization occurred.
• Verify that one twin was live-born and the other was stillborn.
• This code is for the outcome of the delivery, not the maternal condition.
