Other injury of ovary, bilateral, initial encounter

This code signifies an unspecified injury affecting both ovaries. It covers various forms of trauma to these reproductive organs, excluding specific types like contusion, laceration, or crushing, when the injury is bilateral.

Apply this code for initial encounters where a patient presents with an injury to both ovaries, and the specific nature of the injury (e.g., contusion, laceration) is not documented or is categorized as "other." This would include cases of blunt force trauma or penetrating injuries where the exact ovarian damage is not precisely identified beyond being an "other injury."

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "bilateral" involvement of the ovaries.
• Only use for the initial encounter for treatment of the injury.
• If a more specific injury (e.g., laceration) is documented for both ovaries, a more specific code should be used.
