About N98.0

N98.0 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for infection associated with artificial insemination. It belongs to category N98 (complications associated with artificial fertilization), block N80-N98 (noninflammatory disorders of female genital tract) 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 N98 (complications associated with artificial fertilization), N98.0 is specifically for infection associated with artificial insemination. Related codes cover Hyperstimulation of ovaries (N98.1), complications of attempted introduction of fertilized ovum following in vitro fertilization (N98.2), complications of attempted introduction of embryo in embryo transfer (N98.3), other complications associated with artificial fertilization (N98.8) and complication associated with artificial fertilization, unspecified (N98.9).

As a secondary diagnosis it is a CC (complication or comorbidity), which can move an inpatient stay into the "with CC" MS-DRG of its family, unless the principal diagnosis excludes it.

In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 791 (Prematurity with Major Problems, relative weight 4.1075), DRG 793 (Full Term Neonate with Major Problems, relative weight 4.2195), DRG 856 (Postoperative or Post-Traumatic Infections with O.R. Procedures with MCC, relative weight 4.4826), DRG 857 (Postoperative or Post-Traumatic Infections with O.R. Procedures with CC, relative weight 2.1678), DRG 858 (Postoperative or Post-Traumatic Infections with O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC, relative weight 1.4036), DRG 867 (Other Infectious and Parasitic Diseases Diagnoses with MCC, relative weight 2.1859) and 2 more, in MDC 15 (Newborns and Other Neonates with Conditions Originating in the Perinatal Period) and MDC 18 (Infectious and Parasitic Diseases, Systemic or Unspecified Sites), 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 female patients (the sex-conflict edit itself was retired in FY2025).

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

Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as 999.39 (infection following other infusion, injection, transfusion, or vaccination).
