Using unspecified codes when laterality is documented

Impact

Reimbursement: May lead to reduced reimbursement due to lack of specificity., Compliance: Non-compliance with coding guidelines for specificity., Data Quality: Decreases the quality of clinical data for research and treatment planning.

Mitigation

Always document and code the specific laterality of ovarian conditions.
