Contusion of fallopian tube, bilateral, subsequent encounter

This code signifies a bruise or injury to both fallopian tubes, which are tubes connecting the ovaries to the uterus. This particular code is used when the patient is receiving follow-up care for this specific injury after the initial treatment.

Apply this code when a patient presents for ongoing management, evaluation, or treatment of a previously diagnosed bilateral fallopian tube contusion. This includes situations like monitoring healing, addressing persistent pain, or managing complications arising from the initial injury.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "bilateral" involvement of the fallopian tubes.
• Verify that the encounter is for subsequent care, not the initial treatment of the injury.
• Look for documentation indicating the cause of the contusion, as an external cause code may also be required.
