About N42

N42 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other and unspecified disorders of prostate. It belongs to block N40-N53 (diseases of male genital organs) and chapter 14 (diseases of the genitourinary system). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 5 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: N42.0 (prostate), N42.1 (prostate), N42.3 (prostate), N42.8 (prostate) and N42.9 (unspecified).

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