Medical necessity for IUI varies depending on the patient's circumstances.It may be considered medically necessary for couples with unexplained infertility, male factor infertility (low sperm count or motility), cervical factor infertility, or when using donor sperm.Specific payer guidelines should be consulted.
The physician is responsible for preparing the sperm, performing the IUI procedure, and providing post-procedure instructions to the patient.
In simple words: IUI is a fertility treatment where sperm is placed directly into a woman's uterus to help her get pregnant.A doctor uses a thin tube to insert the sperm past the cervix, making it easier for the sperm to reach and fertilize an egg.
This code represents intrauterine insemination (IUI), a procedure where prepared sperm is inserted directly into the uterus using a catheter. The patient is typically placed in the dorsal lithotomy position, a speculum is inserted into the vagina, and the cervix is cleansed.The sperm is then injected through the cervix into the uterine cavity.After the procedure, a sponge may be placed against the cervix for a few hours.
Example 1: A heterosexual couple experiencing unexplained infertility undergoes IUI to improve their chances of conception., A single woman uses donor sperm to conceive through IUI., A lesbian couple uses donor sperm to conceive through IUI.
Documentation should include details about the sperm preparation (washed or unwashed), the source of the sperm (partner or donor), the method of insemination, patient positioning, and any complications encountered.
