Other injury of uterus, subsequent encounter

This code signifies an injury to the uterus, excluding those specifically classified as lacerations, punctures, or hematomas. It covers various other forms of uterine trauma, such as contusions or unspecified injuries, that are being treated after the initial encounter.

Apply this code for follow-up visits, subsequent care, or during the recovery phase for a patient who previously sustained an "other" type of uterine injury. This includes situations where the patient is receiving ongoing treatment, monitoring, or rehabilitation for the original uterine trauma.

• Ensure the documentation clearly indicates this is not the initial encounter for the uterine injury.
• Verify that the injury is not a laceration, puncture, or hematoma, as those have more specific codes.
• Always sequence this code after the primary diagnosis for the reason for the encounter, if applicable.
