About coding vulva varix
The ICD-10-CM code for vulva varix is I86.3 (Vulval varices).
Within I86 (varicose veins of other sites), I86.3 is specifically for Vulval varices. Related codes cover sublingual varices (I86.0), scrotal varices (I86.1), pelvic varices (I86.2), gastric varices (I86.4) and varicose veins of other specified sites (I86.8).
Don't report I86.3 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: vulval varices complicating childbirth and the puerperium (O87.8) and vulval varices complicating pregnancy (O22.1-).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
Don't confuse with (Excludes1 for I86.3)
