Other injury of ovary, bilateral, subsequent encounter

This code signifies an injury to both ovaries, not otherwise specified as a contusion, laceration, or other specific type. It is used for encounters following the initial treatment of the injury, such as follow-up visits or during subsequent care for complications.

Apply this code for follow-up care of bilateral ovarian injuries that are not precisely defined by other S37.4 codes. This includes situations like monitoring healing, addressing persistent pain, or managing secondary effects after the initial treatment phase.

• Ensure documentation clearly states the injury affects both ovaries and is not a contusion or laceration.
• Confirm the encounter is for subsequent care, not the initial treatment of the injury.
• Always look for more specific codes (e.g., S37.412D, S37.422D) before defaulting to this "other injury" code.
