Body System: Gynecological Conditions and Disorders of the Breast Regulation: 38 CFR § 4.116
What This Rating Covers
Diagnostic Code 7619 addresses the surgical removal of one or both ovaries. Under the VA rating schedule, this condition is evaluated based on how much time has passed since the removal and whether one or both ovaries were removed.
Available Rating Levels
The VA assigns a disability rating for ovary removal according to the following schedule:
| Rating | What It Reflects |
|---|---|
| 100% | For three months after removal |
| 30% | Thereafter: Complete removal of both ovaries |
| 0% | Thereafter: Removal of one ovary, with or without partial removal of the other |
What the VA Looks For
When rating this condition, the VA considers:
- The time since surgery. A 100% evaluation applies for the three-month period immediately following the removal.
- Whether one or both ovaries were removed. After the initial three months, complete removal of both ovaries is evaluated at 30%, while removal of one ovary (with or without partial removal of the other) is evaluated at 0%.
Special Note
In cases involving the removal of one ovary as the result of a service-connected injury or disease, where a second ovary is absent or nonfunctioning for reasons unrelated to service, the VA will assign a 30 percent evaluation for the service-connected ovarian loss.
