Endometriosis of ovary, unspecified side, unspecified depth

This code signifies the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus, specifically affecting an ovary, without specifying which ovary (left or right) or the extent or depth of the endometrial implants. It represents a diagnosis of ovarian endometriosis where laterality and depth are not documented or are unknown.

Use this code when the medical record clearly states "endometriosis of ovary" but does not specify if it's the left or right ovary, or if the depth of involvement is not documented. This code is appropriate when the provider's documentation is limited to the general diagnosis of ovarian endometriosis without further detail.

• Avoid using this code if laterality (left or right ovary) is documented; instead, choose a more specific code.
• Do not use this code if the depth of the endometriosis (e.g., superficial, deep) is specified; look for codes that include this detail.
• Query the provider for more specific documentation regarding laterality and depth of ovarian involvement to allow for more precise coding.
