Range Overview
The ICD-10 code range N80-N98 covers noninflammatory disorders of the female genital tract. This includes conditions such as endometriosis, uterine fibroids, and ovarian cysts. These codes are used to document diagnoses related to the female reproductive system that are not caused by inflammation or infection. They provide a detailed classification system for a wide variety of conditions, allowing for accurate tracking, treatment, and research.
Key Usage Points:
- •Use N80-N98 codes for noninflammatory disorders of the female genital tract.
- •These codes cover conditions such as endometriosis, uterine fibroids, and ovarian cysts.
- •The codes provide a detailed classification system for a variety of conditions.
- •They are essential for accurate tracking, treatment, and research.
- •Always verify the latest ICD-10 updates and changes for these codes.
Coding Guidelines
When to Use:
- ✓When diagnosing endometriosis.
- ✓When diagnosing uterine fibroids.
- ✓When diagnosing ovarian cysts.
- ✓When diagnosing other noninflammatory disorders of the female genital tract.
When NOT to Use:
- ✗When the condition is inflammatory or infectious.
- ✗When the condition is not related to the female genital tract.
- ✗When the condition is related to pregnancy or childbirth.
- ✗When the condition is a malignancy.
Code Exclusions
Always verify the latest ICD-10 exclusions for these codes.
Documentation Requirements
Documentation for N80-N98 codes should include a detailed description of the condition, including its location, severity, and any related symptoms. Any diagnostic tests or procedures should be documented, along with the patient's medical history and any relevant family history.
Clinical Information:
- •Detailed description of the condition
- •Location of the condition
- •Severity of the condition
- •Related symptoms
Supporting Evidence:
- •Results of diagnostic tests or procedures
- •Patient's medical history
- •Relevant family history
Good Documentation Example:
Patient presents with severe pelvic pain. Ultrasound reveals multiple uterine fibroids. Patient has a history of heavy menstrual bleeding.
Poor Documentation Example:
Patient has pelvic pain.
Common Documentation Errors:
- âš Not specifying the location of the condition
- âš Not documenting the severity of the condition
- âš Not including related symptoms
- âš Not documenting diagnostic tests or procedures
Range Statistics
Coding Complexity
The coding complexity for N80-N98 codes is medium due to the variety of conditions covered, the need for detailed documentation, and the need to keep up with updates and changes to the code set. Additionally, coders must be aware of the exclusions and inclusions for these codes.
Key Factors:
- â–¸Variety of conditions covered
- â–¸Need for detailed documentation
- â–¸Exclusions and inclusions
- â–¸Updates and changes to the code set
Specialty Focus
These codes are primarily used by gynecologists and other specialists in women's health. They are also used by general practitioners and internists when diagnosing noninflammatory disorders of the female genital tract.
Primary Specialties:
Clinical Scenarios:
- • A patient presents with severe pelvic pain and heavy menstrual bleeding. An ultrasound reveals multiple uterine fibroids.
- • A patient complains of chronic pelvic pain. Diagnostic tests reveal endometriosis.
- • A patient has a palpable mass in the lower abdomen. An ultrasound shows an ovarian cyst.
