Female genital mutilation Type II status

This code signifies the current health status of a female patient who has undergone Type II female genital mutilation (FGM). Type II FGM involves the partial or total removal of the clitoris and labia minora, with or without excision of the labia majora. This code indicates the patient's history of this procedure and its potential ongoing health implications.

Use this code when documenting the health status of a patient who has a confirmed history of Type II FGM. This is typically used for follow-up care, management of complications arising from the FGM, or as part of a comprehensive health assessment. Documentation should clearly state the patient's history of FGM and specify the type if known.

• Do not use this code for acute complications of FGM; instead, code the specific complication (e.g., N90.89 for other specified noninflammatory disorders of vulva and perineum).
• This code indicates a status and should be used as a secondary diagnosis when the FGM is not the primary reason for the encounter but is relevant to the patient's care.
• Ensure documentation specifies "Type II" or describes the anatomical extent consistent with Type II FGM for accurate code assignment.
