Uterovaginal prolapse, unspecified

This code signifies a general descent of the uterus and/or vagina from their normal anatomical positions within the pelvis, without further specification of the degree or type of prolapse. It indicates a pelvic organ prolapse where the exact structures involved or the severity of the prolapse are not precisely documented.

Use this code when documentation indicates "uterovaginal prolapse" or "pelvic organ prolapse" without specifying the type (e.g., cystocele, rectocele, enterocele) or the degree of descent. This code is appropriate when the physician's notes lack the granular detail needed for more specific prolapse codes.

• Avoid using this code if more specific documentation (e.g., cystocele, rectocele, uterine prolapse with degree) is available.
• Query the provider for clarification if the documentation is vague but suggests a more specific type or degree of prolapse.
• This code is a less specific option compared to codes within the 618.0-618.3 series, which describe specific types and degrees of prolapse.
