Reader Question:

Refer to N97.8 for Couple's Infertility Diagnosis

Question: What diagnosis code should I use for an office visit where a patient and her husband cannot get pregnant due to the husband's oligospermia?

Ohio Subscriber

Answer: If you're billing the female patient's insurance, you should currently report 628.8 (Infertility, female; of other specified origin). This is a "couple" diagnosis, so this is appropriate.
