So that the mother's body doesn't produce antibodies against the Rh factor which would harm Rh Positive babies she may have in the future.
The J code for Rhogam, which is used to prevent Rh immunization in Rh-negative mothers, is J2780. This code is used for billing purposes in medical settings. Rhogam is typically administered during pregnancy and after delivery if the baby is Rh-positive.
Rhogam, or Rho(D) immune globulin, is given to Rh-negative pregnant women to prevent Rh immunization. If an Rh-negative mother carries an Rh-positive baby, she may produce antibodies against the baby's Rh-positive blood, which can lead to hemolytic disease of the newborn in future pregnancies. The Rhogam shot is administered during and after pregnancy to prevent the mother’s immune system from reacting to Rh-positive blood cells. This helps protect current and future pregnancies from potential complications.

Rhogam was developed by Dr. Karl Landsteiner and Dr. Alexander Solomon in the early 1960s. Their work led to the creation of Rho(D) immune globulin, which is used to prevent Rh immunization in Rh-negative pregnant women. The introduction of Rhogam in 1963 significantly reduced the incidence of hemolytic disease of the newborn.
