N80.2 is a non-specific and non-billable diagnosis code code, consider using a code with a higher level of specificity for a diagnosis of endometriosis of fallopian tube. The code is not specific and is NOT valid for the year 2024 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions. Category or Header define the heading of a category of codes that may be further subdivided by the use of 4th, 5th, 6th or 7th characters.

Specific Coding Applicable to Endometriosis of fallopian tube

Non-specific codes like N80.2 require more digits to indicate the appropriate level of specificity. Consider using any of the following ICD-10-CM codes with a higher level of specificity when coding for endometriosis of fallopian tube:

  • N80.20 for Endometriosis of fallopian tube, unspecified depth - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use N80.201 for Endometriosis of right fallopian tube, unspecified depth - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use N80.202 for Endometriosis of left fallopian tube, unspecified depth - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use N80.203 for Endometriosis of bilateral fallopian tubes, unspecified depth - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use N80.209 for Endometriosis of unspecified fallopian tube, unspecified depth - BILLABLE CODE

  • N80.21 for Superficial endometriosis of fallopian tube - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use N80.211 for Superficial endometriosis of right fallopian tube - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use N80.212 for Superficial endometriosis of left fallopian tube - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use N80.213 for Superficial endometriosis of bilateral fallopian tubes - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use N80.219 for Superficial endometriosis of unspecified fallopian tube - BILLABLE CODE

  • N80.22 for Deep endometriosis of the fallopian tube - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use N80.221 for Deep endometriosis of right fallopian tube - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use N80.222 for Deep endometriosis of left fallopian tube - BILLABLE CODE

Patient Education


Endometriosis

What is endometriosis?

The uterus, or womb, is the place where a baby grows when a person is pregnant. The uterus is lined with tissue (endometrium). Endometriosis is a disease in which tissue that is similar to the lining of the uterus grows in other places in your body. These patches of tissue are called "implants," "nodules," or "lesions." They are most often found:

  • On or under the ovaries
  • On the fallopian tubes, which carry egg cells from the ovaries to the uterus
  • Behind the uterus
  • On the tissues that hold the uterus in place
  • On the bowels or bladder

In rare cases, the tissue may grow on your lungs or in other parts of your body.

What causes endometriosis?

The cause of endometriosis is unknown.

Who is at risk for endometriosis?

Endometriosis can affect anyone who menstruates. Certain factors can raise or lower your risk of getting it.

You are at higher risk if:

  • You have a mother, sister, or daughter with endometriosis
  • Your period started before age 11
  • Your monthly cycles are short (less than 27 days)
  • Your menstrual cycles are heavy and last more than 7 days

You have a lower risk if:

  • You have been pregnant before
  • Your periods started late in adolescence
  • You breastfeed your babies

What are the symptoms of endometriosis?

The main symptoms of endometriosis are:

  • Pelvic pain, which often happens during your period.
  • Infertility

Other possible symptoms include:

  • Painful menstrual cramps, which may get worse over time
  • Pain during or after sex
  • Pain in the intestine or lower abdomen
  • Pain with bowel movements or urination, usually during your period
  • Heavy periods
  • Spotting or bleeding between periods
  • Digestive or gastrointestinal symptoms
  • Fatigue or lack of energy

How is endometriosis diagnosed?

Surgery is the only way to know for sure that you have endometriosis. First, however, your health care provider will ask about your symptoms and medical history. You will have a pelvic exam and may have some imaging tests.

The most common surgery to diagnose endometriosis is a laparoscopy. This is a type of surgery that uses a laparoscope, a thin tube with a camera and light. The surgeon inserts the laparoscope through a small cut in the skin. Your provider can make a diagnosis based on how the patches of endometriosis look. He or she may also do a biopsy to get a tissue sample.

What are the treatments for endometriosis?

There is no cure for endometriosis, but there are treatments for the symptoms. Your provider will work with you to decide which treatments would be best for you.

Treatments for endometriosis pain include:

  • Pain relievers, including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) such as ibuprofen and a prescription medicine specifically for endometriosis. Providers may sometimes prescribe opioids for severe pain.
  • Hormone therapy, including birth control pills, progestin therapy, and gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists. GnRH agonists cause a temporary menopause, but also help control the growth of endometriosis.
  • Surgical treatments for severe pain, including procedures to remove the endometriosis patches or cut some nerves in the pelvis. The surgery may be a laparoscopy or major surgery.

Treatments for infertility caused by endometriosis include:

  • Laparoscopy to remove the endometriosis patches
  • In vitro fertilization
