Other pre-existing diabetes mellitus in pregnancy, second trimester
ICD-10 O24.812 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other pre-existing diabetes mellitus in pregnancy, second trimester.
O24.812 refers to cases where a patient has pre-existing diabetes mellitus that is not classified as type 1 or type 2 and is experiencing this condition during the second trimester of pregnancy. This code is crucial for identifying patients who may require specialized management due to their diabetes status. Women with pre-existing diabetes are at increased risk for complications such as fetal macrosomia, preeclampsia, and cesarean delivery. Management typically involves close monitoring of blood glucose levels, dietary modifications, and possibly insulin therapy to maintain optimal glycemic control. Fetal monitoring is also essential to assess fetal growth and well-being, as well as to detect any potential complications early. The second trimester is a critical period for both maternal and fetal health, necessitating a multidisciplinary approach to care that includes obstetricians, endocrinologists, and dietitians.
Detailed records of maternal health, diabetes management plans, and fetal monitoring results.
Patients with pre-existing diabetes presenting for routine prenatal care, requiring adjustments in management as pregnancy progresses.
Ensure accurate coding based on the type of diabetes and trimester; monitor for complications.
Comprehensive documentation of high-risk factors, including maternal diabetes management and fetal assessments.
High-risk pregnancies with pre-existing diabetes requiring specialized monitoring and interventions.
Focus on the potential for complications and the need for a tailored care plan.
Used for routine follow-up visits for patients with pre-existing diabetes during pregnancy.
Document the patient's diabetes management, including blood glucose levels and any changes in treatment.
Obstetricians should coordinate with endocrinologists for comprehensive care.
Pre-existing diabetes refers to diabetes that was diagnosed before pregnancy, while gestational diabetes develops during pregnancy and typically resolves after delivery. Accurate coding is essential to reflect the patient's condition.
