Prolapse and hernia of ovary and fallop, unspecified side

This code describes the displacement of an ovary and/or fallopian tube from its normal anatomical position, protruding into an adjacent area, without specifying whether the condition affects the left or right side. This can involve the adnexa prolapsing into the vagina or herniating through a defect in the abdominal wall or pelvic floor.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates a prolapse or hernia involving the ovary and fallopian tube, but the laterality (left or right side) is not specified by the provider. This code is appropriate when the physician's notes mention "adnexal prolapse" or "ovarian hernia" without further anatomical detail regarding the affected side.

• Always query the provider for laterality if not documented, as more specific codes exist (N83.41, N83.42).
• Do not use this code if the documentation specifies only ovarian prolapse/hernia or only fallopian tube prolapse/hernia; separate codes exist for these conditions.
• Consider any associated symptoms or complications (e.g., pain, obstruction) and code them additionally if documented.
