About coding stress incontinence
The ICD-10-CM code for stress incontinence is N39.3 (Stress incontinence (female) (male)). The official index lists 1 more specific code, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on N39.3.
Within N39 (other disorders of urinary system), N39.3 is specifically for stress incontinence (female) (male). Related codes cover urinary tract infection, site not specified (N39.0), other specified urinary incontinence (N39.4), other specified disorders of urinary system (N39.8) and disorder of urinary system, unspecified (N39.9).
Don't report N39.3 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: mixed incontinence (N39.46).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
