Maternal care for low transverse scar from previous cesarean delivery

What This Code Means

A pregnant woman receives care because she has a low horizontal scar on her uterus from a previous cesarean delivery, which may affect her current pregnancy.

Coding Tips

  • •This code indicates a low transverse (horizontal) scar; do not confuse with classical (vertical) scars which have different implications
  • •Low transverse scars are generally considered lower risk for uterine rupture; document any complications or concerns in the obstetric record
