Other injury of ovary, unspecified, initial encounter

This code signifies an injury to the ovary that is not specifically categorized as a contusion, laceration, or other specified type. It indicates a general or unspecified trauma to the ovary, documented as the initial presentation of the injury.

Apply this code when documentation indicates an ovarian injury without further specificity regarding the type of trauma (e.g., "ovarian trauma," "injury to ovary"). This is appropriate for the initial encounter where the injury is first diagnosed and treated.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states an ovarian injury, even if the specific type is unknown.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for the injury; subsequent care would use a different seventh character.
• Avoid using this code if more specific details about the ovarian injury (e.g., laceration, contusion) are available in the medical record.
