From a clinical perspective, a viable pregnancy is one in which the baby can be born and have a reasonable chance of survival. By contrast, a nonviable pregnancy is one in which the fetus or baby has no chance of being born alive.Nov 29, 2020

Pregnancy lasts for about 280 days or 40 weeks. A preterm or premature baby is delivered before 37 weeks of your pregnancy. Extremely preterm infants are born 23 through 28 weeks.
A fetal ultrasound or sonogram is a test that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of the developing baby in the uterus. This fetal imaging tool can accurately determine gestational age, fetal number, viability, and placental location. It is used to monitor fetal health and ...

TVU provides a more limited pelvic view, but a better view of the uterus and adnexa during early pregnancy.
A limited ultrasound exam is done to check a specific problem such as the fetus’s position in the uterus when the mother is in labor.
Ultrasound is an important component of obstetrics medical billing and physicians need to report services correctly to ensure accurate reimbursement.
The first fetal ultrasound is typically performed during the first trimester to confirm the pregnancy and estimate the length of the pregnancy. In the case of an uncomplicated pregnancy, this may be followed by another ultrasound during the second trimester, when anatomic details are visible.
While fetal abnormalities are generally rare, the American College of Radiology and the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine recommend that the following structures should be evaluated for defects during a routine prenatal ultrasound:
If you’re coding a report in which the provider does not document enough elements to reach the complete fetal and maternal evaluation codes, then you should resort to coding 76815. This exam is referred to as a “quick look” exam and includes one or more elements listed in the code description.
Measurements appropriate for gestational age (older than or equal to 14 weeks, 0 days); Survey of intracranial/spinal/abdominal anatomy; Four-chambered heart; Umbilical cord assessment; Placenta location and amniotic fluid assessment; and. Examination of maternal adnexa, when visible.
The ACR explains that “among the required elements, ‘qualitative assessment of amniotic fluid volume’ refers to the radiologist’s statement, based on his or her experience and knowledge, that the volume is adequate or inadequate.”.
It is important to note that 76815 includes in its code description, “one or more fetuses,” and should not be coded more than once per study, or per fetus. If a study is done to reassess fetal size, or to reevaluate any fetal organ-system abnormality noted on a previous ultrasound study, 76816 is appropriate.
Most often, amniotic fluid will be evaluated and documented on the fetal anatomical structural evaluation at around 18 to 20 weeks.
After the first trimester, the amniotic fluid might be measured (quantitative), or the report may document this with a qualitative assessment — either is acceptable. If measured, this might also appear in the report simply as an abbreviation and a number.
Although amniotic fluid index (AFI) is not specifically documented as a key element, documentation should include amniotic fluid measurement with the second element for 76805: Measurements appropriate for gestational age (older than or equal to 14 weeks, 0 days). The ACR adds:
