Encounter for male factor infertility in female patient

This diagnosis code is used when a female patient is being evaluated or treated for infertility, and the underlying cause has been identified as a male factor. This indicates that the female patient's reproductive system is not the primary source of the infertility issue.

Apply this code when the female patient is undergoing fertility workup or treatment, and her male partner's semen analysis or other diagnostic tests have revealed a male factor contributing to the couple's inability to conceive. This code is appropriate when the female patient is the one receiving care for the couple's infertility, even though the etiology is male-driven.

• Always sequence this code as a secondary diagnosis when the female patient is the one being treated. The primary diagnosis should reflect the reason for the encounter (e.g., encounter for infertility counseling).
• Do not use this code if the female patient also has a female factor infertility diagnosis; instead, code the specific female factor(s).
• Ensure documentation clearly states that the female patient is being seen for infertility and that a male factor has been identified as the cause.
