About coding cervix degeneration
The ICD-10-CM code for cervix degeneration is N88.8 (Other specified noninflammatory disorders of cervix uteri). The official index lists 2 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on N88.8.
Within N88, choose N88.8 (Other specified noninflammatory disorders of cervix uteri) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: leukoplakia of cervix uteri (N88.0), old laceration of cervix uteri (N88.1), stricture and stenosis of cervix uteri (N88.2), incompetence of cervix uteri (N88.3), hypertrophic elongation of cervix uteri (N88.4) and noninflammatory disorder of cervix uteri, unspecified (N88.9).
Don't report N88.8 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: current obstetric trauma (O71.3).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
