About coding ovary contusion
The ICD-10-CM code for ovary contusion is S37.429 (Contusion of ovary, unspecified). The official index lists 2 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on S37.429.
Within S37.42, choose S37.429 (unspecified) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: unilateral (S37.421) and bilateral (S37.422).
Codes in this range require a 7th character: A for initial encounter, D for subsequent encounter and S for sequela. Use placeholder "X" characters to fill any empty positions before the 7th character.
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
