Contusion of ovary, bilateral, subsequent encounter

This code indicates bruising of both ovaries resulting from trauma, such as a direct impact or blunt force injury. It signifies that the patient is receiving follow-up care for this previously diagnosed bilateral ovarian contusion.

Use this code for patients presenting for ongoing management, monitoring, or treatment of a bilateral ovarian contusion after the initial encounter. This includes visits for symptom re-evaluation, imaging follow-up, or post-injury recovery assessment.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "bilateral" involvement of the ovaries.
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter, meaning care after the initial treatment phase.
• Always code the external cause of the injury (e.g., fall, assault) in addition to the contusion code.
