Contusion of ovary, unilateral, subsequent encounter

This code signifies a bruise to a single ovary, indicating damage to the ovarian tissue without a laceration or rupture. It represents a follow-up visit for this specific injury, where the patient is receiving continued care or monitoring after the initial treatment.

Apply this code for subsequent encounters when a patient is being seen for ongoing management, follow-up, or healing of a previously diagnosed unilateral ovarian contusion. This includes visits for pain management, imaging follow-up to assess resolution, or monitoring for potential complications.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "unilateral" and confirms the encounter is not the initial treatment.
• Pair with an external cause code (V00-Y99) to describe the mechanism of injury, if known and applicable.
• Distinguish from initial encounters (A) or sequela (S) encounters for this condition.
