About coding menstrual pain
The ICD-10-CM code for menstrual pain is N94.6 (Dysmenorrhea, unspecified).
Within N94, choose N94.6 (Dysmenorrhea, unspecified) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: Mittelschmerz (N94.0), dyspareunia (N94.1), vaginismus (N94.2), Premenstrual tension syndrome (N94.3), primary dysmenorrhea (N94.4), secondary dysmenorrhea (N94.5), other specified conditions associated with female genital organs and menstrual cycle (N94.8) and unspecified condition associated with female genital organs and menstrual cycle (N94.9).
Don't report N94.6 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: psychogenic dysmenorrhea (F45.8).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
Don't confuse with (Excludes1 for N94.6)
- psychogenic dysmenorrhea (F45.8)
