Abn lev substnc nonmed source in specmn from fem gntl organs

This code indicates the presence of abnormal levels of non-drug-related substances found in specimens collected from the female genital organs. This typically refers to findings from laboratory analysis of vaginal, cervical, or uterine samples that are outside the normal range and are not due to medication.

Use this code when laboratory results from female genital specimens (e.g., vaginal swab, cervical smear, endometrial biopsy) show abnormal levels of endogenous or exogenous substances not related to prescribed medications. Documentation should clearly state the abnormal finding and specify that the substance is non-medicinal in origin.

• Ensure documentation specifies the non-medicinal nature of the substance to differentiate from drug-related findings.
• This code is often used as a secondary diagnosis, accompanying a more specific code for the underlying condition causing the abnormal levels.
• Do not use for abnormal findings directly attributed to infectious agents, as those have more specific codes.
