About N50.89

N50.89 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other specified disorders of the male genital organs. 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 billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

Within N50.8, choose N50.89 (Other specified disorders of the male genital organs) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: testicular pain (N50.81) and scrotal pain (N50.82).

It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.

In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 729 (Other Male Reproductive System Diagnoses with CC/MCC, relative weight 1.0544) and DRG 730 (Other Male Reproductive System Diagnoses without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.6597), in MDC 12 (Diseases and Disorders of the Male Reproductive System), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.

It is on the CMS list of diagnoses consistent only with male patients (the sex-conflict edit itself was retired in FY2025).

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

Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as 608.84 (Chylocele of tunica vaginalis), 608.85 (stricture of male genital organs), 608.86 (edema of male genital organs) and 1 more.
