Maternal care for (suspected) chromosomal abnormality in fetus, Trisomy 13
ICD-10 O35.11 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of maternal care for (suspected) chromosomal abnormality in fetus, trisomy 13.
O35.11 refers to maternal care provided for a suspected chromosomal abnormality in the fetus, specifically Trisomy 13, also known as Patau syndrome. This condition is characterized by the presence of an extra chromosome 13, leading to severe developmental and physical abnormalities. Maternal care for this condition typically involves comprehensive prenatal screening and diagnostic testing, including non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT), chorionic villus sampling (CVS), or amniocentesis to confirm the diagnosis. The management of pregnancies affected by Trisomy 13 requires a multidisciplinary approach, often involving obstetricians, maternal-fetal medicine specialists, genetic counselors, and pediatricians. Counseling regarding the implications of the diagnosis, potential outcomes, and options for care is crucial. The complexity of care increases as the pregnancy progresses, necessitating close monitoring and potential interventions to manage maternal and fetal health effectively.
Detailed records of prenatal visits, including ultrasound findings and genetic counseling notes.
Routine prenatal visits with additional assessments for suspected chromosomal abnormalities.
Ensure all genetic testing results are documented and discussed with the patient.
Comprehensive documentation of high-risk assessments, including maternal health and fetal monitoring.
Management of pregnancies with confirmed Trisomy 13, including potential interventions.
Focus on the implications of the diagnosis for both maternal and fetal health.
Used for routine monitoring of fetal development in pregnancies with suspected chromosomal abnormalities.
Detailed ultrasound reports documenting fetal anatomy and any abnormalities.
Obstetricians should ensure that all findings are clearly documented for coding purposes.
Coding O35.11 is crucial for identifying pregnancies at risk for Trisomy 13, allowing for appropriate management and counseling for the parents. Accurate coding ensures that healthcare providers can track outcomes and provide necessary interventions.
