About N50.81

N50.81 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for testicular pain. It belongs to category N50 (other and unspecified disorders of male genital organs), 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 3 subcodes must be used instead.

Within N50.8 (other specified disorders of male genital organs), N50.81 is specifically for testicular pain. Related codes cover scrotal pain (N50.82) and other specified disorders of the male genital organs (N50.89).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: N50.811 (pain), N50.812 (pain) and N50.819 (unspecified).

It was added in FY2017, effective October 1, 2016.
