Encounter for supervision of normal pregnancy, unspecified, first trimester
ICD-10 Z34.91 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of encounter for supervision of normal pregnancy, unspecified, first trimester.
Z34.91 is used for encounters during the first trimester of a normal pregnancy where the supervision of the pregnancy is the primary focus. This code is essential for tracking maternal health and ensuring appropriate prenatal care. Factors influencing health status include access to healthcare services, socioeconomic status, and education level, which can affect pregnancy outcomes. Preventive care during this stage includes routine screenings for gestational diabetes, blood pressure monitoring, and counseling on nutrition and lifestyle. Social determinants such as housing stability, access to transportation, and community support systems play a crucial role in a pregnant individual's health and their ability to attend appointments. Proper documentation of these factors is vital for comprehensive care and accurate coding.
