Female pelvic inflammatory disease, unspecified

This code represents an unspecific inflammatory condition affecting the female reproductive organs, including the uterus, fallopian tubes, and/or ovaries. It indicates a general diagnosis of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) without further specification of the underlying cause or specific anatomical site.

Use this code when the physician documents "pelvic inflammatory disease" without specifying the type (e.g., acute, chronic) or the causative organism. It is appropriate when the documentation indicates PID but lacks the detail necessary to assign a more specific code.

• Avoid using this code if more specific documentation (e.g., acute salpingitis, chronic oophoritis) is available.
• Query the provider for clarification if the documentation is vague but suggests a more precise diagnosis.
• Always sequence this code after any underlying infectious agent, if identified and documented.
