Encounter for gynecological examination (general) (routine) without abnormal findings
ICD-10 Z01.419 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of encounter for gynecological examination (general) (routine) without abnormal findings.
Z01.419 is used for encounters where a patient undergoes a routine gynecological examination that yields no abnormal findings. This code is essential for preventive care, as it encourages regular health check-ups that can identify potential health issues early. Factors influencing health status, such as socioeconomic status, access to healthcare, and education, play a significant role in a patient's likelihood of attending these examinations. Regular gynecological exams are crucial for women's health, allowing for screenings such as Pap smears and breast examinations, which can lead to early detection of conditions like cervical cancer or breast cancer. The absence of abnormal findings indicates that the patient is likely maintaining good health, which can be influenced by various social determinants, including lifestyle choices, community resources, and healthcare access. This code is vital for tracking preventive care measures and ensuring that women receive appropriate screenings and health education.
