O92.1Cracked nipple associated with pregnancy, the puerperium, and lactation

O92.1 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for Cracked nipple associated with pregnancy, the puerperium, and lactation. It belongs to category O92 (other disorders of breast and disorders of lactation associated with pregnancy and the puerperium), block O85-O92 (complications predominantly related to the puerperium) and chapter 15 (pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 3 subcodes must be used instead.

Within O92 (other disorders of breast and disorders of lactation associated with pregnancy and the puerperium), O92.1 is specifically for Cracked nipple associated with pregnancy, the puerperium, and lactation. Related codes cover Retracted nipple associated with pregnancy, the puerperium, and lactation (O92.0), other and unspecified disorders of breast associated with pregnancy and the puerperium (O92.2), Agalactia (O92.3), Hypogalactia (O92.4), Suppressed lactation (O92.5), Galactorrhea (O92.6) and other and unspecified disorders of lactation (O92.7).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: O92.11 (pregnancy), O92.12 (puerperium) and O92.13 (lactation).

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