Damage to pelvic organs and tissues following abortion or ectopic and molar pregnancies

This code signifies complications affecting the pelvic organs and surrounding tissues that arise as a direct consequence of an abortion (spontaneous or induced), ectopic pregnancy, or molar pregnancy. These complications can include infections, hemorrhage, perforation, or other structural damage to the uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, or adjacent structures.

Use this code when documentation clearly links pelvic organ damage to a preceding abortion, ectopic pregnancy, or molar pregnancy. This applies to both immediate and delayed complications. Supporting documentation would include operative reports, pathology reports, and physician notes detailing the specific damage and its causal relationship to the prior pregnancy event.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states the cause of the pelvic organ damage is related to an abortion, ectopic, or molar pregnancy.
• Do not use this code for general pelvic inflammatory disease or other pelvic conditions not directly attributed to these specific pregnancy outcomes.
• Code the specific type of damage (e.g., infection, hemorrhage) in addition to this code, if applicable, to provide a complete clinical picture.
