Maternal care for abnormality of pelvic organ, unspecified, third trimester
ICD-10 O34.93 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of maternal care for abnormality of pelvic organ, unspecified, third trimester.
O34.93 refers to maternal care for unspecified abnormalities of pelvic organs during the third trimester of pregnancy. This code is utilized when a pregnant woman presents with pelvic organ abnormalities that may affect her pregnancy but are not specifically defined. Such abnormalities can include conditions like pelvic organ prolapse, fibroids, or other structural anomalies that may complicate labor and delivery. The third trimester is a critical period where these abnormalities can lead to increased risks during childbirth, including the potential for cesarean delivery, especially in patients with a history of previous cesarean sections or uterine scarring. Careful monitoring and management are essential to ensure maternal and fetal well-being. Documentation should include the nature of the abnormality, any associated symptoms, and the management plan to ensure appropriate coding and billing.
Detailed clinical notes regarding the nature of the pelvic organ abnormality, its implications for pregnancy, and any interventions planned or performed.
Patients with pelvic organ prolapse, fibroids, or previous surgeries affecting the pelvic region.
