Complications of attempted introduction of fertilized ovum following in vitro fertilization
ICD-10 N98.2 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of complications of attempted introduction of fertilized ovum following in vitro fertilization.
N98.2 refers to complications arising from the attempted introduction of a fertilized ovum into the uterus after in vitro fertilization (IVF). This procedure is often pursued by women facing infertility issues, including menstrual and menopausal disorders. Complications can include ectopic pregnancies, uterine perforation, and infection, which may arise during or after the embryo transfer process. The risk of these complications can be influenced by factors such as the woman's age, underlying reproductive health conditions, and the number of embryos transferred. Proper management of these complications is crucial, as they can significantly impact the success of the IVF cycle and the overall reproductive health of the patient. Documentation must reflect the specific complications encountered, as well as any interventions performed to address them, to ensure accurate coding and billing.
