About N90.81

N90.81 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for female genital mutilation status. It belongs to category N90 (other noninflammatory disorders of vulva and perineum), 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 5 subcodes must be used instead.

Within N90.8 (other specified noninflammatory disorders of vulva and perineum), N90.81 is specifically for female genital mutilation status. Related codes cover other specified noninflammatory disorders of vulva and perineum (N90.89).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: N90.810 (unspecified), N90.811 (status), N90.812 (status), N90.813 (status) and N90.818 (status).

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