Z38: Liveborn infants according to place of birth
Z38.2: Singleton, unspecified as to place of birth
The ICD-10 code Z38.2 refers to a single condition scenario denoted as "Singleton, unspecified as to place of birth." This designation is used in situations where a single baby is born (singleton), and the location of the birth has not been specified. This could mean that the baby was delivered in a variety of settings, including a hospital, a birthing center, at home, in transit to a healthcare facility, or another location. This code is typically used in medical documentation and birth records to denote the birth scenario and does not reflect any specific medical condition or problem associated with the newborn. This code is useful for collecting birth statistics and understanding trends in birth settings.
