Billable

Maternal hypotension syndrome, third trimester

This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).

What This Code Means

Abnormally low blood pressure during the third trimester of pregnancy (weeks 28-delivery), which may cause dizziness or fainting.

Coding Tips

  • •Distinguish between chronic hypertension and pregnancy-induced hypotension; verify baseline blood pressure readings
  • •Document any symptoms and interventions; hypotension in late pregnancy requires close monitoring due to proximity to delivery
