Other specified congenital malformations of female genitalia

This code signifies congenital structural abnormalities of the female reproductive organs that are not specifically classified elsewhere. These malformations are present at birth and can affect the uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, or vagina, leading to various functional impairments or reproductive challenges.

Apply this code when documentation specifies a congenital anomaly of the female genitalia that is not covered by more specific ICD-10-CM codes within the Q52 series (e.g., congenital absence of vagina, bicornuate uterus). Examples include specific types of vaginal septa, uterine hypoplasia not otherwise specified, or other rare or complex developmental defects.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the malformation is congenital and provides sufficient detail to rule out more specific Q52 codes.
• Avoid using this code if a more precise code exists for the documented congenital anomaly (e.g., Q51.0 for agenesis of uterus).
• Consider sequencing this code as a primary diagnosis if it is the reason for the encounter, or as a secondary diagnosis if it is an underlying condition impacting another primary diagnosis.
