About coding bacterial vaginitis
The ICD-10-CM code for bacterial vaginitis is N76.0 (Acute vaginitis).
Within N76 (other inflammation of vagina and vulva), N76.0 is specifically for acute vaginitis. Related codes cover 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), ulceration of vulva (N76.6) and other specified inflammation of vagina and vulva (N76.8).
Use an additional code (B95-B97), to identify infectious agent.
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
