Pregnancy care for patient with recurrent pregnancy loss, third trimester
ICD-10 O26.23 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of pregnancy care for patient with recurrent pregnancy loss, third trimester.
O26.23 is used to document care for pregnant patients who have experienced recurrent pregnancy loss and are currently in their third trimester. This condition is characterized by the history of two or more consecutive pregnancy losses before the 20th week of gestation. In the third trimester, the focus shifts to monitoring the health of both the mother and the fetus, as well as addressing any complications that may arise due to the mother's underlying health conditions, such as renal, cardiac, or respiratory issues. Care may involve close surveillance of fetal growth, maternal vital signs, and laboratory tests to assess renal function, cardiac output, and respiratory status. The management plan often includes multidisciplinary collaboration among obstetricians, maternal-fetal medicine specialists, and other healthcare providers to ensure optimal outcomes for both mother and baby.
