Maternal care for retroversion of gravid uterus, unspecified trimester
ICD-10 O34.539 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of maternal care for retroversion of gravid uterus, unspecified trimester.
Retroversion of the gravid uterus refers to a condition where the uterus is tilted backward instead of its normal forward position. This condition can occur during pregnancy and may lead to various complications, including discomfort, urinary issues, and potential obstruction of the birth canal during labor. Maternal care for this condition involves careful monitoring and management, especially in women with a history of pelvic organ abnormalities, previous cesarean deliveries, or uterine scarring. These factors can complicate the pregnancy and delivery process, necessitating a multidisciplinary approach to care. The management may include physical therapy, positional changes, and in some cases, surgical intervention if the retroversion leads to significant complications. It is crucial for healthcare providers to document the specifics of the condition, including the trimester of pregnancy, to ensure appropriate care and coding.
Detailed obstetric history, including previous surgeries and complications, must be documented. Providers should note any symptoms related to retroversion and their management.
A pregnant patient presents with pelvic pain and urinary frequency; upon examination, retroversion is diagnosed. Management may include monitoring and patient education.
Coders should ensure that all relevant history is captured, particularly in cases of previous cesarean sections or uterine scarring, which may influence delivery options.
High-risk pregnancy documentation must include detailed assessments of the retroversion's impact on fetal well-being and maternal health.
A patient with a history of uterine scarring presents with retroversion and is monitored closely for potential complications.
High-risk scenarios may require additional codes for associated conditions, and careful tracking of maternal and fetal health is essential.
Used for comprehensive obstetric care in patients with retroversion, ensuring all aspects of care are documented.
Complete documentation of all prenatal visits, delivery details, and postpartum follow-up is required.
Obstetricians should ensure that any complications related to retroversion are noted in the patient's record.
Coding O34.539 is significant as it captures the maternal care for retroversion of the gravid uterus, which can impact pregnancy management and delivery. Accurate coding ensures appropriate care and resource allocation.
