Unspecified injury of fallopian tube, bilateral, sequela

This code signifies a long-term consequence or late effect resulting from an unspecified injury to both fallopian tubes. It indicates that the original injury has healed, but its lasting impact, such as scarring or functional impairment, is still present and being addressed.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with a current condition directly attributable to a past, unspecified injury of both fallopian tubes. This applies when the acute phase of the original injury has passed, and the current encounter focuses on managing the sequelae. Examples include chronic pelvic pain or infertility stemming from a previous bilateral fallopian tube injury.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela being treated (e.g., chronic pain, infertility).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past, unspecified bilateral fallopian tube injury.
• Verify that the "S" seventh character is appropriate, indicating a sequela, and not an initial encounter or subsequent encounter for the acute injury.
