Contusion of fallopian tube, bilateral, sequela

This code signifies a bruise or injury to both fallopian tubes resulting from blunt force trauma, where the acute injury has resolved and the patient is now presenting for treatment of a residual effect or complication. These sequelae could include chronic pain, adhesions, or infertility directly attributable to the past contusion.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with a long-term consequence or late effect of a previously sustained bilateral fallopian tube contusion. This is appropriate when the initial injury is no longer active, and the current encounter addresses a persistent issue stemming from that past trauma.

• Always sequence this sequela code after the code for the specific residual condition being treated (e.g., chronic pelvic pain, infertility).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the prior bilateral fallopian tube contusion.
• Verify that the encounter is for a late effect, not an acute or subsequent encounter for the initial injury.
