Pre-existing type 2 diabetes mellitus, in pregnancy, third trimester
ICD-10 O24.113 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of pre-existing type 2 diabetes mellitus, in pregnancy, third trimester.
Pre-existing type 2 diabetes mellitus in pregnancy poses significant risks to both the mother and fetus, particularly during the third trimester. This condition requires careful management to prevent complications such as macrosomia, preeclampsia, and neonatal hypoglycemia. Women with pre-existing type 2 diabetes may require insulin therapy to maintain optimal glycemic control, which is crucial for reducing adverse pregnancy outcomes. Regular fetal monitoring is essential to assess fetal growth and well-being, including ultrasound evaluations and non-stress tests. The management plan should include dietary modifications, blood glucose monitoring, and potential adjustments in medication dosages. Coordination among healthcare providers, including obstetricians and endocrinologists, is vital to ensure comprehensive care throughout the pregnancy.
Detailed records of maternal health, diabetes management, and fetal assessments are essential.
Management of labor in diabetic patients, monitoring for complications such as preeclampsia.
Ensure accurate coding of any complications arising from diabetes, including the need for insulin therapy.
Comprehensive documentation of high-risk factors, including maternal and fetal assessments.
Management of high-risk pregnancies with pre-existing diabetes, including potential cesarean deliveries.
Focus on the implications of diabetes on fetal development and the need for specialized monitoring.
Used for routine follow-up visits for diabetic management during pregnancy.
Document patient history, examination findings, and management plan.
Ensure that the visit reflects the complexity of managing diabetes in pregnancy.
Correct coding of O24.113 is crucial for ensuring appropriate reimbursement and for tracking maternal and fetal outcomes in pregnancies complicated by diabetes. Accurate coding reflects the complexity of care required and helps in the management of resources for high-risk pregnancies.
