Other multiple birth (three or more), mates all liveborn, born outside hospital and not hospitalized

This code identifies a delivery event involving three or more liveborn infants, all of whom survived the birth. The delivery occurred outside of a hospital setting, and the mother was not subsequently admitted to a hospital for this specific delivery.

This code is appropriate for documenting the birth of triplets, quadruplets, or higher-order multiples when all infants are liveborn and the birth takes place in a non-hospital environment, such as a home birth or en route to a facility, without subsequent hospitalization for the delivery itself. It would be used on the mother's record to indicate the circumstances of the birth.

• Ensure all infants in the multiple birth were liveborn; do not use if any were stillborn.
• Verify the birth occurred outside a hospital and no hospital admission for the delivery followed.
• This code is for the mother's record; individual infant records will use codes specific to their birth status.
