About coding vagina ulcer
The ICD-10-CM code for vagina ulcer is N76.5 (Ulceration of vagina). The official index lists 2 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on N76.5.
Within N76 (other inflammation of vagina and vulva), N76.5 is specifically for ulceration of vagina. Related codes cover acute vaginitis (N76.0), subacute and chronic vaginitis (N76.1), acute vulvitis (N76.2), subacute and chronic vulvitis (N76.3), abscess of vulva (N76.4), ulceration of vulva (N76.6) and other specified inflammation of vagina and vulva (N76.8).
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.
