ICD-10 code for vaginitis

About coding vaginitis
The ICD-10-CM code for vaginitis is N76.0 (Acute vaginitis). The official index lists 30 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on N76.0.
Within N76 (other inflammation of vagina and vulva), N76.0 is specifically for acute vaginitis. Related codes cover subacute and chronic vaginitis (N76.1), acute vulvitis (N76.2), subacute and chronic vulvitis (N76.3), abscess of vulva (N76.4), ulceration of vagina (N76.5), 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.
