Intrauterine fetal demise is the clinical term for stillbirth used to describe the death of a baby in the uterus. The term is usually applied to losses at or after the 20th week of gestation. Pregnancies that are lost earlier are considered miscarriages and are treated differently by medical examiners.
Selective intrauterine growth restriction (sIUGR) occurs when there is unequal placental sharing which leads to suboptimal growth of one twin. In cases of sIUGR, the estimated fetal weight of the smaller, growth-restricted twin usually falls below the 10th percentile.
Intrauterine insults may lead to brain ischemia (stroke), which is a major contributor to the sonographic brain findings that we will discuss in this chapter. Prenatal stroke can be the result of an arterial ischemic event, a venous thrombosis, or hemorrhage.
As a result the simple ICD-9-CM procedure code for labor induction, 73.4 (“Medical Induction of Labor”) has been replaced with the rather generic and opaque ICD-10-PCS procedure code: 3E033VJ (“Introduction of other hormone into peripheral vein, percutaneous approach”).
Intrauterine fetal demise (IUFD) is the medical term for a child who dies in utero after the 20th week of pregnancy in the second trimester. Although there is no agreed-upon time, most doctors deem the death to be an IUFD if it occurred after 20 weeks of gestation.

Early intrauterine fetal death (IUFD) was defined as intrauterine death < 20 weeks, late IUFD was death at 20–23 weeks and stillbirth was death ≥ 24 weeks.
Second trimester intrauterine fetal death is typically recognized as a demise after 20 weeks of gestation or a fetal weight of more than 500 grams. It affects about 1 in 100 pregnancies each year in the United States, and the rate has declined by more than 25% in the last 15 years.
Maternal care for intrauterine death The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM O36. 4 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of O36. 4 - other international versions of ICD-10 O36.
When an induced abortion is performed by dilating the cervix and performing sharp and/or suction curettage, use CPT code 59840 for reported such procedures. If the cervix is dilated and the uterus mechanically evacuated, code 59841 is reported.
59812 Is for treatment of incomplete abortion, completed surgically any trimester. Incomplete abortion meaning parts of the products of conception are retained in the uterus. 59820 Is for treatment of a missed abortion, completed surgically 1st trimester.
N96 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM N96 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of N96 - other international versions of ICD-10 N96 may differ.

other physical problems in the fetus. in at least half of cases, it is not possible to tell why the baby died.if stillbirth happens before delivery, your health care provider may induce labor or perform a cesarean section to deliver the fetus. In some cases, you can wait until you go into labor yourself.
Induction 20 wk demise#N#According to ACOG, a missed abortion or early fetal death is up to and including 20 weeks. You do not use a delivery code--not that you can't if the payor accepts it, but the MORE correct coding is 59855. Cytotec (vaginal supp.)were used to induce labor and the expulsion of the dead fetus (baby). Delivery codes are used after 20 weeks. I am only giving you the correct coding according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. Many insurances go by ACOG guidelines so thought you should know.#N#Having said that, if the 20 wk (or earlier) baby is delivered and lives for only the briefest moment, it would be considered a live birth and then you could use your delivery code. In this case the baby was known to be deceased and so delivery code would not be used as it was technically the 'induced abortion' of a dead fetus.
if it's a known fetal demise, you can not bill an induced abortion code. Since she is 20 weeks, you can bill a delivery code. I typically bill delivery with postpartum care only and then the prenatal visits. Because usually at 20 weeks there has only been maybe 3 or 4 visits.
