Unspecified injury of ovary, bilateral, subsequent encounter

This code signifies an unspecified injury affecting both ovaries, meaning the specific type of damage (e.g., laceration, contusion, rupture) is not documented. This diagnosis is being reported for a patient who is receiving follow-up care for the initial injury.

Apply this code when a patient presents for subsequent treatment, evaluation, or recovery from an uncharacterized injury to both ovaries. This includes situations where the initial injury was treated, and the patient is now seen for ongoing management, complications, or healing.

• Ensure documentation clearly indicates a bilateral ovarian injury and that the encounter is not the initial treatment.
• Only use this code when the specific nature of the ovarian injury is not specified in the medical record.
• If the specific type of injury is known, a more precise code from the S37.4 series should be used.
