V34.1
ICD-9-CMThis code signifies a multiple gestation delivery involving three or more liveborn infants, where all infants were born alive. Crucially, the birth occurred prior to the mother's admission to a hospital setting.
This code is appropriate for documenting the birth of triplets, quadruplets, or higher-order multiples where all infants are liveborn and the delivery happened outside of a hospital. This would include scenarios such as a home birth or an emergency roadside delivery before reaching a medical facility.
