Torsion of fallopian tube, unspecified side

This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).

What This Code Means

A twisted fallopian tube when the specific side (left or right) is not documented or is bilateral. This can restrict blood flow and cause severe abdominal pain.

Coding Tips

  • •Use this code only when laterality is not specified; always attempt to determine and code the specific side if possible
  • •Review imaging reports and operative notes for clarification on which tube(s) are affected
