Nonspecific abnormal findings in semen

This code signifies the presence of abnormal characteristics in a semen analysis that are not indicative of a specific, definitive diagnosis. It encompasses findings such as abnormal sperm morphology, motility, or concentration, or other seminal fluid abnormalities, when a more precise cause cannot be identified. It represents a general deviation from normal semen parameters without a clear etiology.

This code is appropriate for documenting initial abnormal semen analysis results when further investigation is pending or when a definitive cause for infertility or reproductive issues cannot be established. It should be used when the physician's documentation indicates "nonspecific abnormal semen findings" or similar language, without specifying a particular condition like oligospermia or azoospermia.

• Do not use this code if a more specific diagnosis, such as male infertility due to oligospermia (606.1) or azoospermia (606.0), is documented.
• Consider sequencing this code as a secondary diagnosis if the primary reason for the encounter is infertility investigation (606.9).
• Ensure the medical record clearly states the findings are "nonspecific" or "unspecified" to support the use of this code.
