Encounter for assisted reprodctv fertility procedure cycle

This code signifies a patient's visit specifically for the initiation or continuation of an assisted reproductive technology (ART) cycle aimed at achieving pregnancy. It covers the active treatment phase of fertility procedures, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).

Use this code for encounters where a patient is undergoing an active fertility treatment cycle, including medication administration, monitoring, egg retrieval, embryo transfer, or other procedures directly related to the ART cycle. This code is appropriate for the specific visits within the treatment cycle itself.

• Do not use this code for initial consultations, diagnostic testing, or preparatory procedures that occur before the active ART cycle begins.
• Always code the underlying reason for infertility (e.g., N97.x) as a secondary diagnosis.
• Ensure documentation clearly indicates the patient is actively engaged in an ART treatment cycle.
