Acquired absence of cervix with remaining uterus

This code signifies the surgical removal or congenital absence of the uterine cervix, while the main body of the uterus remains intact. This condition can result from various medical interventions, such as a supracervical hysterectomy, or be a rare developmental anomaly.

Apply this code when a patient's medical record clearly documents the absence of the cervix, but the uterus is still present. This is commonly seen following a supracervical hysterectomy performed for conditions like uterine fibroids or abnormal uterine bleeding, where the cervix was intentionally left behind.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "absence of cervix" and "remaining uterus" to support this code.
• Do not use this code if the entire uterus, including the cervix, has been removed (total hysterectomy).
• Consider any underlying reasons for the cervical absence, such as a history of supracervical hysterectomy, and code those conditions as well.
