Pre-existing type 2 diabetes mellitus, in pregnancy, unspecified trimester
ICD-10 O24.119 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of pre-existing type 2 diabetes mellitus, in pregnancy, unspecified trimester.
Pre-existing type 2 diabetes mellitus in pregnancy poses significant risks to both the mother and fetus. This condition requires careful management throughout the pregnancy to prevent complications such as fetal 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, often involving ultrasound assessments and non-stress tests. The management plan should be individualized, taking into account the mother's pre-pregnancy health status, the severity of diabetes, and any comorbid conditions. Coordination among healthcare providers, including obstetricians, endocrinologists, and dietitians, is vital to ensure comprehensive care. Education on dietary modifications, blood glucose monitoring, and recognizing signs of complications is also a key component of managing diabetes in pregnancy.
Detailed records of maternal health, including pre-existing conditions, treatment plans, and monitoring results.
Management of a pregnant patient with type 2 diabetes requiring insulin therapy and regular fetal assessments.
Ensure accurate documentation of any changes in maternal or fetal health status, and the rationale for treatment adjustments.
Comprehensive documentation of high-risk factors, including maternal diabetes management and fetal monitoring protocols.
High-risk pregnancies involving pre-existing diabetes with potential complications such as preeclampsia or fetal growth restriction.
Focus on detailed assessments of fetal well-being and maternal health, including any interventions taken.
Used for routine follow-up visits for a pregnant patient with type 2 diabetes.
Document the patient's diabetes management plan, including blood glucose levels and any changes in treatment.
Ensure that the visit reflects the complexity of managing a chronic condition during pregnancy.
Pre-existing diabetes refers to diabetes that was diagnosed before pregnancy, while gestational diabetes develops during pregnancy and typically resolves after delivery. Accurate coding is essential to reflect the patient's condition.
