N83.53
BillableTorsion of ovary, ovarian pedicle and fallopian tube
This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
A twisted ovary, fallopian tube, and the tissue structures connecting them, all occurring together. This serious condition can compromise blood supply to multiple reproductive organs.
Coding Tips
- •This code indicates involvement of multiple structures (ovary, tube, and pedicle); do not use with separate codes for individual torsions
- •Often requires surgical intervention; check operative reports for confirmation of all affected structures
