About N76.8
N76.8 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other specified inflammation of vagina and vulva. It belongs to category N76 (other inflammation of vagina and vulva), block N70-N77 (inflammatory diseases of female pelvic 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 N76, choose N76.8 (Other specified inflammation of vagina and vulva) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: acute vaginitis (N76.0), subacute and chronic vaginitis (N76.1), acute vulvitis (N76.2), subacute and chronic vulvitis (N76.3), abscess of vulva (N76.4), ulceration of vagina (N76.5) and ulceration of vulva (N76.6).
To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: N76.81 (vulva), N76.82 (vulva) and N76.89 (vulva).
Use an additional code (B95-B97), to identify infectious agent.
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
