Contusion of ovary, unspecified, sequela

This code signifies a bruise or injury to the ovary, the specific side of which is not documented, occurring as a late effect or complication of an initial injury. It indicates that the patient is experiencing residual problems directly attributable to a past ovarian contusion.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates a patient is presenting for treatment of a current condition or symptom that is a direct consequence of a previously sustained, unspecified ovarian contusion. This applies to follow-up encounters for long-term effects, such as chronic pain or reproductive issues, stemming from the original injury.

• Requires an additional code to describe the specific sequela or late effect being treated.
• Confirm that the documentation explicitly links the current condition to a past ovarian contusion.
• Do not use for initial or acute injury encounters; those require an acute injury code with the appropriate encounter type.
