Other female genital mutilation status

This code signifies a patient's current health status as having undergone a form of female genital mutilation (FGM) not otherwise specified or classified by other FGM codes. It indicates the long-term sequelae or presence of FGM, rather than an acute injury or complication.

Use this code when documentation confirms a history of FGM, and the specific type of FGM performed does not fit into other defined categories (e.g., clitoridectomy, excision, infibulation). This code is appropriate when a patient presents for routine care, pregnancy, or management of chronic conditions related to or impacted by their FGM status.

• This is a "status" code, indicating a historical condition, not an active complication or acute injury.
• Always sequence this code after any acute conditions or complications being treated during the encounter.
• Ensure documentation clearly states the patient's history of FGM and that it's not classifiable to a more specific FGM code.
