Other specified inflammatory disease of female pelvic organs and tissues

This code signifies inflammatory conditions affecting the female pelvic organs and surrounding tissues that are not specifically classified elsewhere. It encompasses a range of inflammatory processes within the female reproductive and pelvic structures beyond typical pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) or endometriosis.

Apply this code when documentation indicates an inflammatory process of the female pelvic organs or tissues, such as oophoritis, salpingitis, or parametritis, that is explicitly described as "other specified" or lacks a more precise ICD-9-CM code. Supporting documentation would include physician notes detailing the specific inflammatory condition and ruling out more common or specifically coded diagnoses.

• Ensure the physician's documentation clearly specifies an inflammatory condition of the pelvic organs or tissues that doesn't fit a more specific code.
• Avoid using this code for generalized pelvic pain without documented inflammation, or for conditions like endometriosis or PID which have their own specific codes.
• Review the entire 614 category to ensure a more precise code for the documented inflammatory condition is not available before selecting this "other specified" option.
