Female infertility associated with anovulation

This code represents the inability of a female patient to conceive due to the absence of ovulation. Anovulation is a common cause of infertility, where the ovaries do not release an oocyte during the menstrual cycle.

Assign this code when documentation clearly indicates female infertility directly attributed to anovulation, often diagnosed through hormonal testing, basal body temperature charting, or ultrasound monitoring. This code is appropriate for patients undergoing evaluation or treatment for anovulatory infertility.

• Ensure documentation explicitly links infertility to anovulation; do not use for other causes of female infertility.
• Consider sequencing this code as the primary diagnosis when anovulation is the definitive cause of the encounter for infertility.
• Do not confuse with other specified or unspecified female infertility codes (N97.1-N97.9) if anovulation is not confirmed.
