Unspecified injury of fallopian tube, bilateral, subs encntr

This code indicates an injury to both fallopian tubes where the specific nature of the injury (e.g., contusion, laceration) is not documented. This diagnosis is being addressed during a subsequent encounter, meaning the patient is receiving follow-up care for an injury that occurred previously.

Use this code for patients presenting for ongoing treatment, evaluation, or recovery from an unspecified bilateral fallopian tube injury. This applies when the initial injury has already been treated and the patient is no longer in the acute phase of care. It is appropriate when the medical record lacks details about the precise type of trauma to the fallopian tubes.

• Requires an associated external cause code to describe the mechanism of injury.
• Confirm the encounter is for follow-up care, not initial treatment, as indicated by the "D" seventh character.
• Avoid using if a more specific injury (e.g., laceration, rupture) of the fallopian tubes is documented.
