In simple words: This code means the mother is pregnant with four babies (quadruplets).

This code is used to classify a pregnancy involving four fetuses (quadruplets).It's used only on the maternal record, never on the newborn records. Any complications specific to the multiple gestation should be coded separately.

Example 1: A 32-year-old woman presents for her routine prenatal visit at 28 weeks gestation.Ultrasound confirms a quadruplet pregnancy.Code O30.2 is assigned., A 38-year-old woman is admitted to the hospital at 36 weeks gestation for preterm labor.She is carrying quadruplets. Code O30.2 is used along with codes for preterm labor and any other complications., A 25-year-old woman undergoes an initial prenatal assessment and is found to be pregnant with quadruplets. Code O30.2 is assigned to document the pregnancy type.

Documentation should include confirmation of the quadruplet pregnancy via ultrasound or other imaging methods.Gestational age should also be documented.

** This code should be used in conjunction with other codes to fully describe the pregnancy and any associated complications.The use of additional codes is crucial for appropriate reimbursement and accurate medical recordkeeping.
