Comp of attempt introduce of fertilized ovum fol in vitro

This code describes complications arising specifically from the attempted transfer of a fertilized egg into the uterus after in vitro fertilization (IVF). It encompasses adverse events directly related to the embryo transfer procedure itself, rather than issues with the fertilization process or the resulting pregnancy.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates a complication occurred during or immediately following the embryo transfer phase of an IVF cycle. Examples include uterine perforation, hemorrhage, or infection directly attributable to the transfer attempt. The medical record should specify the complication and link it to the attempted introduction of the fertilized ovum.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states the complication occurred during or due to the attempted introduction of the ovum, not other stages of IVF.
• Code any specific complication (e.g., hemorrhage, infection) in addition to this code, if applicable, following sequencing guidelines.
• Do not use this code for complications related to the IVF process prior to embryo transfer or for complications of the resulting pregnancy.
