ICD Code N83.8

ICD code N83.8 is used to classify and identify other noninflammatory disorders affecting the ovary, fallopian tube, and broad ligament. This code is part of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) system, which is utilized by healthcare providers to document and categorize various medical conditions for billing, treatment, and statistical purposes. The conditions covered under this code are not caused by inflammation and may include a range of disorders that affect these specific female reproductive organs.

When considering the use of the ICD code for "Other noninflammatory disorders of ovary, fallopian tube, and broad ligament," healthcare providers should evaluate the following diagnostic criteria and symptoms:

1. Presence of Ovarian Cysts: Identification of non-inflammatory cysts within the ovaries that do not fit into more specific categories of ovarian disorders.

2. Fallopian Tube Abnormalities: Detection of structural or functional abnormalities in the fallopian tubes that are non-inflammatory in nature.

3. Broad Ligament Disorders: Recognition of any non-inflammatory conditions affecting the broad ligament, which supports the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes.

4. Pelvic Pain: Persistent or recurrent pelvic pain that is not attributed to inflammatory causes and is linked to the ovaries, fallopian tubes, or broad ligament.

5. Menstrual Irregularities: Irregular menstrual cycles or abnormal bleeding patterns that are associated with non-inflammatory conditions of the reproductive organs.

6. Ultrasound or Imaging Findings: Imaging studies revealing abnormalities in the ovaries, fallopian tubes, or broad ligament that are not due to inflammation or infection.

7. Exclusion of Inflammatory Conditions: Thorough evaluation to rule out inflammatory diseases such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) or endometriosis.

8. Absence of Neoplastic Growths: Confirmation that the disorder is not due to neoplastic (tumor-related) growths, which would require a different diagnostic code.

9. Chronic Pelvic Discomfort: Long-term pelvic discomfort or pressure that is linked to the reproductive organs without signs of inflammation.

10. Hormonal Imbalances: Evidence of hormonal imbalances that may be related to non-inflammatory disorders of the reproductive organs.

By carefully assessing these criteria, healthcare providers can accurately determine when to apply this specific ICD code in their documentation and billing processes.
