About N36

N36 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other disorders of urethra. It belongs to block N30-N39 (other diseases of the urinary system) and chapter 14 (diseases of the genitourinary system). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 7 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: N36.0 (fistula), N36.1 (diverticulum), N36.2 (caruncle), N36.4 (disorders), N36.5 (passage), N36.8 (urethra) and N36.9 (unspecified).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
