Sextuplets, some liveborn
ICD-10 Z37.64 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of sextuplets, some liveborn.
Z37.64 is used to indicate a delivery involving sextuplets, where at least one of the infants is liveborn. This scenario presents unique clinical challenges, including the need for specialized prenatal care, monitoring for complications such as preterm labor, and the management of multiple gestations. Social determinants of health, such as access to healthcare, socioeconomic status, and support systems, significantly influence outcomes for both the mother and the infants. Preventive care is crucial, including regular prenatal visits, nutritional counseling, and screening for gestational diabetes and hypertension. Aftercare for the mother may involve mental health support and education on caring for multiple infants, while the infants may require extensive neonatal care. Accurate coding is essential for appropriate reimbursement and to reflect the complexity of care provided.
