The ICD-10-CM code for Bartholin's gland abscess is N75.1 (Abscess of Bartholin's gland). The official index lists 2 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on N75.1.

Within N75 (diseases of Bartholin's gland), N75.1 is specifically for abscess of Bartholin's gland. Related codes cover cyst of Bartholin's gland (N75.0), other diseases of Bartholin's gland (N75.8) and disease of Bartholin's gland, unspecified (N75.9).

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 742 (Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Non-Malignancy with CC/MCC, relative weight 1.8456), DRG 743 (Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Non-Malignancy without CC/MCC, relative weight 1.2974), DRG 757 (Infections, Female Reproductive System with MCC, relative weight 1.4649), DRG 758 (Infections, Female Reproductive System with CC, relative weight 0.9908) and DRG 759 (Infections, Female Reproductive System without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.7691), in MDC 13 (Diseases and Disorders of the Female Reproductive System), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
