Dx code for unable to feel fetal movement?

Is there any diagnosis stating decreased fetal movement, any final impressions. If not I don't think you can give decreased fetal movement, since it only says "unable to", not decrease or a disease condition. What does the final impression or test NST/AFI results say.

The results were normal, but they did repeat it a second time and for the same reason. Provider did not give a final diagnosis of "decreased fetal movements," but on the indication for the test, it was stated as "unable to feel fetal movement," so I was wondering if that translated to O36.8130. Thanks for your input!

Since we can't take it as a condition, query your provider for confirmation of a decreased fetal movement or some other diagnosis.
