Pre-existing type 2 diabetes mellitus, in pregnancy, first trimester
ICD-10 O24.111 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of pre-existing type 2 diabetes mellitus, in pregnancy, first trimester.
Pre-existing type 2 diabetes mellitus in pregnancy poses significant risks to both the mother and fetus, particularly during the first trimester. This period is critical for fetal organ development, and uncontrolled diabetes can lead to congenital anomalies, miscarriage, and complications such as preeclampsia. Management of type 2 diabetes during pregnancy requires careful monitoring of blood glucose levels, dietary modifications, and potentially insulin therapy. Regular fetal monitoring is essential to assess fetal growth and well-being, as well as to detect any complications early. Healthcare providers must collaborate closely to ensure optimal maternal and fetal outcomes, adjusting treatment plans as necessary throughout the pregnancy.
Detailed records of maternal health, glucose levels, and treatment plans.
Routine prenatal visits, management of diabetes during pregnancy, and monitoring for complications.
Ensure documentation reflects the impact of diabetes on pregnancy outcomes and any changes in management.
Comprehensive assessments of maternal-fetal health, including ultrasound findings and lab results.
High-risk consultations, management of complications, and specialized fetal monitoring.
Focus on the interplay between maternal diabetes and fetal development, requiring detailed documentation of both.
Used for routine follow-up visits for diabetes management during pregnancy.
Document patient's diabetes management plan, glucose levels, and any changes in treatment.
Obstetricians should ensure that diabetes management is integrated into overall prenatal care.
Accurate coding of O24.111 is crucial for ensuring appropriate management of pre-existing diabetes during pregnancy, which can significantly impact maternal and fetal health outcomes. It also affects reimbursement and quality metrics for healthcare providers.
