About coding vulva ulcer

The ICD-10-CM code for vulva ulcer is N76.6 (Ulceration of vulva). The official index lists 3 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on N76.6.

Within N76 (other inflammation of vagina and vulva), N76.6 is specifically for ulceration of vulva. 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 vagina (N76.5) 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.
