Contusion of uterus, subsequent encounter

This code signifies a bruise or injury to the uterus resulting from blunt force trauma, such as an accident or fall, that is being treated or evaluated after the initial encounter. It indicates that the patient is receiving follow-up care for this specific uterine injury.

This code is appropriate for subsequent visits related to the management of a previously diagnosed uterine contusion. This includes appointments for monitoring healing, assessing complications, or continuing treatment after the initial injury has been addressed. It would be used for office visits, follow-up imaging, or hospital readmissions specifically for this condition.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "contusion of uterus" and indicates a subsequent encounter.
• Pair with an external cause code (V00-Y99) to describe the circumstances of the injury, if known and applicable.
• Do not use for the initial treatment of the injury; refer to the acute contusion code for the first encounter.
