E89.40

What This Code Means

This code describes a condition where the ovaries stop functioning after a medical procedure or surgery, but the patient is not experiencing any symptoms. This is typically discovered through blood tests or imaging rather than the patient reporting problems.

Coding Tips

• •Verify that the ovarian failure is documented as occurring after a specific procedure and that the patient has no reported symptoms; if symptoms are present, use E89.41 instead
• •Ensure documentation clearly links the ovarian failure to a prior procedure (such as hysterectomy, radiation, or chemotherapy) to support medical necessity and accurate coding
