Unspecified injury of ovary, bilateral, initial encounter

This code signifies an injury to both ovaries where the specific nature of the trauma is not documented. It indicates that the patient is presenting for the initial treatment of this bilateral ovarian injury. This could encompass various forms of damage, such as contusions, lacerations, or crush injuries, without further detail.

Apply this code when documentation indicates an injury affecting both ovaries, but the physician has not specified the exact type of injury. This is appropriate for the initial visit or encounter for the treatment of this condition. Use this code when the medical record lacks the specificity to assign a more detailed code for ovarian trauma.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states "bilateral" involvement of the ovaries.
• Only use this code for the initial encounter for treatment; subsequent encounters will require a different seventh character.
• Always query the provider for more specific details regarding the type of ovarian injury if available to allow for more precise coding.
