Quadruplet liveborn infant, delivered vaginally
ICD-10 Z38.63 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of quadruplet liveborn infant, delivered vaginally.
Z38.63 is used to classify a quadruplet liveborn infant who has been delivered vaginally. This code is essential for capturing the unique health status of multiple births, which can significantly influence both immediate and long-term health outcomes. Factors influencing health status include maternal health, prenatal care access, and socioeconomic conditions. Preventive care for quadruplets often involves enhanced monitoring for developmental milestones and screening for potential complications such as low birth weight or respiratory issues. Social determinants of health, such as family support systems and access to healthcare resources, play a critical role in the aftercare and ongoing health management of these infants. Proper coding ensures that healthcare providers can track outcomes and allocate resources effectively, ultimately improving care for this vulnerable population.
Documentation should include prenatal care history, delivery details, and postnatal assessments.
Routine checkups for quadruplets, developmental screenings, and immunization schedules.
Consideration of social determinants such as family support, socioeconomic status, and access to healthcare services.
Population-level data collection, including birth outcomes and health status tracking.
Epidemiological studies on multiple births and preventive health initiatives.
Focus on health disparities and resource allocation for families with multiple births.
Used for the first preventive visit for a quadruplet infant.
Document growth parameters, developmental milestones, and any concerns.
Primary care providers should focus on comprehensive assessments and family education.
Documentation must include details of the delivery method, the number of infants born, any complications during delivery, and follow-up care plans. Additionally, social determinants affecting the family's health should be noted.
