Female genital mutilation status, unspecified

This code indicates a patient's history or current status of having undergone female genital mutilation (FGM), without specifying the type or extent of the procedure. It signifies that FGM has occurred, but further details are not documented or are unknown.

Use this code when documentation confirms a patient has a history of FGM, but the specific type (e.g., clitoridectomy, excision, infibulation) is not recorded or is unclear. This code is appropriate for general screening or when a definitive FGM type cannot be determined from the medical record.

• Do not use this code if the specific type of FGM is documented; instead, use the more specific codes within the N90.81- series.
• This code is for status, not for acute complications or sequelae of FGM, which should be coded separately.
• Ensure documentation clearly indicates FGM has occurred, even if the type is unspecified.
