About coding vulvitis puerperal
The ICD-10-CM code for vulvitis puerperal is O86.19 (Other infection of genital tract following delivery).
Within O86.1, choose O86.19 (Other infection of genital tract following delivery) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: cervicitis following delivery (O86.11), endometritis following delivery (O86.12) and vaginitis following delivery (O86.13).
Use an additional code (B95-B97), to identify infectious agent.
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.
