About coding cervix acquired atresia

The ICD-10-CM code for cervix acquired atresia is N88.2 (Stricture and stenosis of cervix uteri). The official index lists 2 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on N88.2.

Within N88 (other noninflammatory disorders of cervix uteri), N88.2 is specifically for stricture and stenosis of cervix uteri. Related codes cover leukoplakia of cervix uteri (N88.0), old laceration of cervix uteri (N88.1), incompetence of cervix uteri (N88.3), hypertrophic elongation of cervix uteri (N88.4), other specified noninflammatory disorders of cervix uteri (N88.8) and noninflammatory disorder of cervix uteri, unspecified (N88.9).

Don't report N88.2 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: stricture and stenosis of cervix uteri complicating labor (O65.5).

It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
