In simple words: This code is used when you see a doctor or other healthcare provider for help with reproduction, and there isn't a more specific code to describe the reason.
This code is used for encounters with health services for procreative management, when a more specific code is not applicable.
Example 1: A patient consults with a physician about options for family planning but has not yet decided on a specific method., A patient is seen for follow-up after completing a course of fertility treatment, but the specific reason for the encounter is not documented., A person seeks counseling about their reproductive health in general.
Documentation should support the reason for the encounter and indicate that the purpose is related to procreative management. If a procedure is performed, a corresponding procedure code must also be documented.
** This code is not to be used for encounters related to complications of pregnancy, childbirth, or the puerperium. It is also not for encounters related to infertility (N97.-) or male infertility (N46.-).
