About coding Salpingo-oophoritis
The ICD-10-CM code for Salpingo-oophoritis is N70.93 (Salpingitis and oophoritis, unspecified). The official index lists 12 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on N70.93.
Within N70.9, choose N70.93 (Salpingitis and oophoritis, unspecified) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: salpingitis, unspecified (N70.91) and oophoritis, unspecified (N70.92).
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.
