About N81

N81 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for female genital prolapse. It belongs to block N80-N98 (noninflammatory disorders of female genital tract) and chapter 14 (diseases of the genitourinary system). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 9 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: N81.0 (Urethrocele), N81.1 (cystocele), N81.2 (prolapse), N81.3 (prolapse), N81.4 (unspecified), N81.5 (enterocele), N81.6 (rectocele), N81.8 (prolapse) and 1 more.

Don't report N81 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: genital prolapse complicating pregnancy, labor or delivery (O34.5-), prolapse and hernia of ovary and fallopian tube (N83.4-) and prolapse of vaginal vault after hysterectomy (N99.3).

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