Contusion of ovary, unspecified, subsequent encounter

This code describes a bruise or injury to the ovary that does not involve a laceration or rupture. It indicates that the patient is receiving follow-up care for an ovarian contusion that was previously treated.

This code is appropriate for encounters where a patient is returning for evaluation or management of a known ovarian contusion, such as a follow-up appointment after initial diagnosis and treatment. It would be used for monitoring healing, assessing for complications, or continuing conservative management.

• Requires a seventh character "D" for subsequent encounter, indicating ongoing care.
• Do not use for initial treatment of the injury; a different seventh character would be needed.
• Always ensure documentation supports a contusion and not a more severe ovarian injury.
