Complications associated with artificial fertilization.
Modifiers might be applicable depending on the specific circumstances and the nature of the services provided.Consult the most recent guidelines and payer-specific rules for modifier usage.
Medical necessity for the treatment of complications from artificial fertilization is established by the presence of a clinically significant adverse event directly related to the procedure. This may include symptoms causing morbidity or threatening the patient's health.Documentation must support the diagnosis and the medical necessity for the interventions.
The clinical responsibility for managing complications associated with artificial fertilization typically falls on the reproductive endocrinologist or infertility specialist overseeing the treatment.Depending on the specific complication, other specialists (e.g., surgeons, hematologists) may also be involved.
In simple words: This code is used to describe problems that happen after someone has fertility treatments like in-vitro fertilization (IVF).
This ICD-10-CM code encompasses various complications arising from artificial fertilization procedures.It includes a broad spectrum of adverse events, and further specification may be needed depending on the specific complication encountered.The code is used for billing and tracking purposes related to the management and treatment of such complications.
Example 1: A 38-year-old female patient undergoing IVF experiences ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) following the retrieval of oocytes. This necessitates hospitalization for fluid management and supportive care., A 42-year-old female patient presents with an ectopic pregnancy following a successful embryo transfer during in-vitro fertilization (IVF).Surgical intervention is required., A 35-year-old female patient develops a severe infection at the injection site after an intrauterine insemination (IUI) procedure. This requires antibiotic treatment and close monitoring.
Thorough documentation is crucial, including details of the artificial fertilization procedure performed (e.g., IVF, IUI), the specific complication(s) encountered (detailed clinical findings), the management and treatment provided, and the patient's response to treatment.Relevant laboratory results should also be documented.
** This code is primarily used for diagnosis.Additional codes will be necessary to reflect any procedures or services performed to treat the associated complications.
