About coding cervicitis
The ICD-10-CM code for cervicitis is N72 (Inflammatory disease of cervix uteri). The official index lists 9 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on N72.
Don't report N72 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: erosion and ectropion of cervix without cervicitis (N86).
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.
