Maternal care for abnormality of vagina, second trimester
ICD-10 O34.62 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of maternal care for abnormality of vagina, second trimester.
O34.62 refers to maternal care for abnormalities of the vagina during the second trimester of pregnancy. This code is utilized when there are identified congenital or acquired abnormalities of the vagina that may impact the pregnancy or delivery process. Such abnormalities can include vaginal agenesis, septate vagina, or other structural anomalies that may complicate labor and delivery. The presence of these conditions necessitates careful monitoring and management by healthcare providers to ensure the safety of both the mother and the fetus. Additionally, if the patient has a history of cesarean delivery or uterine scarring, these factors must be considered in the management plan, as they may influence the mode of delivery and the overall obstetric care strategy. Proper documentation of the specific vaginal abnormality, its implications for the pregnancy, and any previous surgical history is crucial for accurate coding and optimal patient care.
Documentation must include detailed descriptions of the vaginal abnormality, any associated symptoms, and the impact on pregnancy and delivery.
Patients with vaginal agenesis requiring assisted reproductive technologies, or those with septate vaginas needing surgical intervention prior to delivery.
Consideration of the patient's obstetric history, including previous cesarean deliveries and uterine scarring, is essential for planning delivery.
High-risk pregnancy documentation must include comprehensive assessments of the vaginal abnormality and its potential impact on fetal health.
Management of pregnancies complicated by significant vaginal anomalies, requiring specialized monitoring and potential surgical interventions.
Close monitoring for complications such as preterm labor or delivery, and planning for potential cesarean delivery if indicated.
Used for comprehensive obstetric care of patients with vaginal abnormalities.
Complete documentation of all prenatal visits, delivery details, and postpartum follow-up.
Obstetricians must ensure that all aspects of care are documented to support the coding.
Documentation must include a clear description of the vaginal abnormality, its impact on the pregnancy, and any relevant obstetric history, including previous cesarean deliveries or uterine scarring.
