ICD Code O99.280

ICD code O99.280 is used to classify cases where a pregnant individual is experiencing complications related to endocrine, nutritional, and metabolic diseases, but the specific trimester of pregnancy is not specified. This code helps healthcare providers document and track these complications for accurate diagnosis, treatment planning, and billing purposes.

1. Presence of Endocrine Disorders: The patient has been diagnosed with an endocrine disorder such as diabetes, thyroid dysfunction, or adrenal gland disorders during pregnancy.

2. Nutritional Deficiencies: The patient exhibits nutritional deficiencies that are significant enough to impact pregnancy, such as severe anemia, vitamin deficiencies, or malnutrition.

3. Metabolic Disorders: The patient has a metabolic disorder, such as obesity or metabolic syndrome, that complicates the pregnancy.

4. Pregnancy Status: The patient is confirmed to be pregnant, but the specific trimester is not specified or documented.

5. Complications Arising from Conditions: The endocrine, nutritional, or metabolic condition is directly affecting the pregnancy, leading to complications such as gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, or fetal growth restriction.

6. Clinical Evaluation: The patient has undergone clinical evaluation and testing to confirm the presence of these conditions and their impact on the pregnancy.

7. Documentation in Medical Records: The healthcare provider has documented the diagnosis and its impact on the pregnancy in the patient's medical records, ensuring accurate coding and billing.

8. Intervention or Management Required: The condition requires medical intervention or management to mitigate risks to the mother or fetus during the pregnancy.
