Good morning,
I am stuck between 2 diagnosis and hope someone can assist.
Scenario: Patient was seen for an IUD insertion but after 2 attempts the provider indicated:
" There was some resistance at endocx. After overcoming resistance, the sound was gently advances and advanced to 13 cm without meeting any resistance. Procedure abandoned 2/2 concern for false passage, uterine perforation."
I would use the T83.39XA because the provider indicated uterine perforation and unsure if and when to use the Z53.8 code and if this would be the time to use it.
I also used 58300 Modifier 53
Hope someone can assist!
