Asymptomatic premature menopause

This code represents the cessation of ovarian function and menstruation before the age of 40, without the patient experiencing any menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, or vaginal dryness. It indicates a premature menopause that is discovered incidentally or through diagnostic testing, rather than due to presenting symptoms.

Use this code when documentation clearly states premature menopause (cessation of menses before age 40) and explicitly indicates the patient is asymptomatic. This often occurs when evaluating infertility, amenorrhea, or during routine gynecological examinations where ovarian function is assessed. Documentation should confirm the absence of typical menopausal symptoms.

• Do not use this code if the patient is experiencing any menopausal symptoms; instead, select a code that specifies symptomatic premature menopause.
• Ensure the documentation specifies "premature" (before age 40) and "asymptomatic" to support the use of this specific code.
• Consider sequencing this code as a secondary diagnosis if the primary reason for the encounter is another condition, such as infertility.
