ICD-10 code for tuberculous vaginitis

The ICD-10-CM code for tuberculous vaginitis is A18.18 (Tuberculosis of other female genital organs).

Within A18.1, choose A18.18 (Tuberculosis of other female genital organs) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: unspecified (A18.10), tuberculosis of kidney and ureter (A18.11), tuberculosis of bladder (A18.12), tuberculosis of other urinary organs (A18.13), tuberculosis of prostate (A18.14), tuberculosis of other male genital organs (A18.15), tuberculosis of cervix (A18.16) and tuberculous female pelvic inflammatory disease (A18.17).

As a secondary diagnosis it is a CC (complication or comorbidity), which can move an inpatient stay into the "with CC" MS-DRG of its family, unless the principal diagnosis excludes it.

In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 742 (Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Non-Malignancy with CC/MCC, relative weight 1.8456), DRG 743 (Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Non-Malignancy without CC/MCC, relative weight 1.2974), DRG 757 (Infections, Female Reproductive System with MCC, relative weight 1.4649), DRG 758 (Infections, Female Reproductive System with CC, relative weight 0.9908), DRG 759 (Infections, Female Reproductive System without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.7691), DRG 974 (HIV with Major Related Condition with MCC, relative weight 3.0506) and 2 more, in MDC 13 (Diseases and Disorders of the Female Reproductive System) and MDC 25 (Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infections), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
