Quadruplets, some liveborn
ICD-10 Z37.62 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of quadruplets, some liveborn.
Z37.62 is used to indicate a delivery involving quadruplets, where at least one of the infants is liveborn. This code is crucial for capturing the complexity of multiple births, which can significantly influence maternal and neonatal health outcomes. Factors influencing health status include maternal age, socioeconomic status, access to prenatal care, and the presence of any comorbidities. Preventive care is essential in managing high-risk pregnancies, including regular screenings for gestational diabetes, hypertension, and fetal development assessments. Social determinants such as housing stability, education, and healthcare access play a critical role in the health of both the mother and the infants. Aftercare for mothers of multiple births often involves mental health support, nutritional counseling, and follow-up visits to monitor recovery and infant health.
Documentation should include prenatal care visits, screenings for complications, and postnatal follow-ups.
Routine checkups during pregnancy, screenings for gestational diabetes, and aftercare visits for the mother and infants.
Consideration of social determinants such as access to healthcare, support systems, and mental health resources.
Population-level data collection, monitoring of health outcomes for mothers and infants, and tracking of health disparities.
Epidemiological studies on multiple births and preventive health initiatives targeting high-risk populations.
Focus on community resources and support systems for families with multiple births.
Used in conjunction with Z37.62 for mothers who smoke.
Document counseling sessions and patient progress.
Important for primary care providers to address smoking in pregnant women.
Z37.62 should be used when documenting a delivery involving quadruplets, with at least one liveborn infant. It is essential to provide detailed documentation of the birth outcomes and any complications.
