Code Description

ICD-10 D27.0 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of benign neoplasm of right ovary.

Key Diagnostic Point:

A benign neoplasm of the right ovary refers to a non-cancerous tumor that arises from the ovarian tissue. These tumors can vary in size and may be asymptomatic or present with symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, or changes in menstrual cycles. Common types of benign ovarian neoplasms include serous cystadenomas, mucinous cystadenomas, and dermoid cysts. Diagnosis typically involves imaging studies such as ultrasound or MRI, and in some cases, a biopsy may be performed to confirm the benign nature of the tumor. Management often includes monitoring the tumor for changes in size or symptoms, and surgical intervention may be necessary if the neoplasm causes significant discomfort or complications. Follow-up care is essential to ensure that the neoplasm remains benign and to monitor for any potential recurrence or complications. Regular gynecological examinations and imaging studies may be recommended as part of ongoing management.

Code Complexity Analysis

Complexity Rating: Medium

Medium Complexity

Complexity Factors

  • Differentiating between benign and malignant neoplasms
  • Variability in presentation and symptoms
  • Need for imaging studies for accurate diagnosis
  • Potential for surgical intervention and follow-up coding

Audit Risk Factors

  • Inadequate documentation of the tumor's characteristics
  • Failure to specify the laterality of the neoplasm
  • Misclassification of benign neoplasms as malignant
  • Lack of follow-up documentation post-surgery

ICD-10 Impact

Diagnostic & Documentation Impact

Enhanced Specificity

ICD-10 Improvements

The transition to ICD-10 has allowed for more specific coding of benign neoplasms, improving the accuracy of data collection and reimbursement processes. D27.0 provides clarity in documenting the laterality and type of neoplasm, which was less specific in ICD-9.

ICD-9 vs ICD-10

The transition to ICD-10 has allowed for more specific coding of benign neoplasms, improving the accuracy of data collection and reimbursement processes. D27.0 provides clarity in documenting the laterality and type of neoplasm, which was less specific in ICD-9.

Reimbursement & Billing Impact

Frequently Asked Questions

What imaging studies are recommended for diagnosing a benign neoplasm of the right ovary?

Ultrasound is the first-line imaging study, often followed by MRI if further characterization of the neoplasm is needed.

How often should follow-up be conducted for a benign ovarian neoplasm?

Follow-up intervals can vary, but typically every 6-12 months is recommended, depending on the size and symptoms associated with the neoplasm.
