Maternal care for other rhesus isoimmunization, first trimester (fetus 3)
ICD-10 O36.0913 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of maternal care for other rhesus isoimmunization, first trimester (fetus 3).
Maternal care for rhesus isoimmunization involves the management of a pregnant woman whose immune system has developed antibodies against the Rh factor present in the fetus's blood. This condition can lead to hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN), which may cause fetal anemia, jaundice, and other complications. In the first trimester, the focus is on monitoring the fetus's growth and development, as well as assessing for any signs of fetal distress or growth restriction. Care may include regular ultrasounds to evaluate fetal well-being, blood tests to monitor maternal antibody levels, and potential interventions such as intrauterine transfusions if severe anemia is detected. The management of this condition is crucial to prevent adverse outcomes for both the mother and the fetus, particularly in cases where the mother has had previous pregnancies affected by Rh isoimmunization.
Detailed records of maternal health, fetal assessments, and any interventions performed.
Management of a pregnant woman with a history of Rh isoimmunization, monitoring for fetal growth restriction.
Accurate coding requires understanding the implications of Rh isoimmunization on both maternal and fetal health.
Comprehensive documentation of high-risk factors, including maternal history and fetal monitoring results.
Complex cases involving multiple pregnancies or previous adverse outcomes due to Rh isoimmunization.
High-risk pregnancies require meticulous documentation to support the complexity of care provided.
Used for monitoring fetal growth and well-being in cases of isoimmunization.
Document the indication for the ultrasound and findings.
Ensure that the ultrasound is performed by qualified personnel and that results are communicated to the care team.
Accurate coding of O36.0913 is crucial for ensuring appropriate management of the pregnancy, facilitating necessary interventions, and supporting billing for specialized care related to rhesus isoimmunization.
