Wiki z36

Can someone explain z36 to me. If a patient is having a prenatal test is shows in the code book z36. Can other codes be used with this code on a prenatal test? Also for carrier screening test this code would not work you would need z31.43- if I'm understanding it correctly. Thank you, April
