Genitl trct and pelvic infct fol ectopic and molar pregnancy

This code signifies an infection of the reproductive organs or pelvic cavity that develops as a complication after an ectopic pregnancy or a molar pregnancy. It encompasses conditions such as endometritis, salpingitis, oophoritis, or pelvic cellulitis occurring in this specific post-pregnancy context.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a localized infection of the genital tract or pelvis following the diagnosis and management of an ectopic or molar pregnancy. Supporting documentation would include physician notes detailing the infection, its location, and its direct association with the preceding ectopic or molar pregnancy event.

• Ensure documentation specifies the infection site (e.g., endometrium, fallopian tube) and explicitly links it to the ectopic or molar pregnancy.
• Do not code concurrently with sepsis following ectopic and molar pregnancy (O08.82) or urinary tract infection (O08.83) due to Excludes1 notes.
• Consider additional codes for specific infectious agents if identified and documented.
