2025 ICD-10-CM code O36.1915

Maternal care for other isoimmunization, first trimester, fetus 5.

This code should be used only on the maternal record, never the newborn's.Use additional code Z3A.- to identify the specific week of gestation.

Medical necessity for this code is established by the presence of maternal isoimmunization (other than Rh) and its potential impact on the fetus, requiring specialized maternal care.

The physician is responsible for monitoring the mother's antibody levels, assessing the fetus for signs of hemolytic disease (such as anemia and hydrops fetalis through ultrasound), and potentially performing intrauterine transfusions or other interventions.

In simple words: This code is used when a pregnant woman, less than 14 weeks pregnant, needs care because her blood type is incompatible with her baby's, excluding the common Rh incompatibility. This incompatibility has been identified in the developing baby, necessitating specialized medical attention for the mother during her pregnancy.

This code indicates that a pregnant woman in her first trimester (less than 14 weeks) is receiving care due to isoimmunization from blood group incompatibility other than Rh incompatibility, and that this condition affects the fetus.

Example 1: A pregnant woman in her 10th week of pregnancy has blood work showing antibodies against Kell antigens.Ultrasound monitoring of the fetus is initiated., A pregnant woman in her first trimester with known anti-c antibodies (not anti-D associated with Rh incompatibility) is receiving regular monitoring and management of her pregnancy., A woman in her 8th week of pregnancy, known to have anti-Duffy antibodies, is being seen for specialized care due to her isoimmunization.

Documentation should include the mother's blood type and antibody screen results, ultrasound findings related to fetal assessment, and details of any interventions performed (e.g., intrauterine transfusions).

** It's crucial to distinguish this code from codes related to Rh incompatibility (O36.0-), ABO incompatibility (O36.1-), and other specified isoimmunizations.Remember to use an additional code from category Z3A to indicate the specific week of gestation.
