Wiki tubal occlusion

what diagnosis code would you use for tubal occlusion? The patient had and HSG. The postoperative dx is patent left tube and absent right tube.

so is the tube occluded or missing?

Looks like the right tube is missing and the left tube is patent.

so they are checking for possible occlusion but there is not one? Is the patient being checked for infertility.

the doctor noted in the chart tubal occlusion. the patient had multiple abdominal surgeries.

It sounds to me that he was thinking the patient had a tubal occlusion and when the hsg was performed there was no occlusion found. I would have to say V71.89 unless she has other signs or symptoms documented.
