Hello,
I was hoping someone could tell me what does it mean the word other in these two codes:

Z34.83 Encounter for Supervision of other normal pregnancy
O09.892 - Supervision of other high risk pregnancies, second trimester

Does it mean other than her first child or doesn't apply also to other pregnancy like If someone has had a miscarriage, than their pregnancy would be an "other" but they would be having their first child?

you're help appreciated,
thanks in advance.:confused:
 
you count the pregnancy not the number of births so if she had a previous pregnancy that did not result in a live birth it still counts as a pregnancy. so supervision of other pregnancy is other than the first pregnancy regardless of outcome.
