Sextuplets, all liveborn
ICD-10 Z37.54 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of sextuplets, all liveborn.
Z37.54 is used to indicate that a patient has delivered sextuplets, all of whom are liveborn. This code is crucial for capturing the complexity of multiple births, which often require specialized care and monitoring. The health status of mothers delivering sextuplets can be significantly influenced by various social determinants, including socioeconomic status, access to prenatal care, and support systems. Preventive care is essential in these cases, as mothers may face increased risks of complications during pregnancy and postpartum. Screening for conditions such as gestational diabetes and hypertension is vital, as well as aftercare that includes mental health support and nutritional counseling. The use of this code helps healthcare providers track outcomes and resource utilization for high-risk pregnancies, ensuring that appropriate care is provided to both the mother and the infants.
Documentation should include prenatal care visits, screenings for gestational diabetes, hypertension, and mental health assessments.
Routine checkups during pregnancy, postpartum visits, and infant well-child visits.
Consideration of social determinants such as access to care, transportation, and family support systems.
Population-level data collection, monitoring of health outcomes, and tracking of maternal and infant health indicators.
Epidemiological studies on multiple births and preventive health initiatives.
Focus on health disparities and access to care for families with multiple births.
Used in conjunction with Z37.54 for mothers who smoke and are advised to quit during pregnancy.
Document counseling sessions and any referrals for smoking cessation programs.
Primary care providers should address smoking cessation as part of comprehensive prenatal care.
Documentation must include the number of liveborn infants, details of the delivery, and any associated maternal health conditions. Follow-up care and screenings should also be documented to support the use of this code.
