Quadruplet liveborn infant, delivered by cesarean
ICD-10 Z38.64 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of quadruplet liveborn infant, delivered by cesarean.
Z38.64 is used to classify a liveborn infant who is part of a quadruplet birth and was delivered via cesarean section. This code is essential for capturing the complexities associated with multiple births, particularly in terms of maternal and infant health outcomes. Factors influencing health status include maternal age, prenatal care access, socioeconomic status, and the presence of any complications during pregnancy or delivery. Preventive care for these infants may involve early screenings for developmental milestones and health assessments to monitor growth and potential health issues. Social determinants such as family support, housing stability, and access to healthcare services play a critical role in the aftercare and long-term health of both the infant and the family. Proper documentation is crucial to ensure accurate coding and to facilitate appropriate care and resource allocation.
Documentation should include prenatal care history, delivery details, and aftercare plans. Routine checkups should be documented with growth assessments and developmental screenings.
Routine checkups for the infant, screenings for developmental milestones, and aftercare visits to monitor health status.
Consideration of social determinants such as family support systems, access to healthcare, and socioeconomic factors affecting the infant's health.
Population-level data collection, including birth outcomes and health status tracking for multiple births.
Epidemiological studies on multiple births, preventive health initiatives targeting families with multiple infants.
Focus on health disparities and access to resources for families with quadruplets.
Used for routine checkups for quadruplet infants.
Documentation of growth assessments, developmental screenings, and parental education.
Primary care providers should focus on comprehensive care plans for multiple infants.
Documentation must include details of the delivery method, the number of infants, any maternal health conditions, and follow-up care plans. It's essential to capture all relevant information to support the coding of multiple births.
