ICD-10 code for salpingitis

About coding salpingitis
The ICD-10-CM code for salpingitis is N70.91 (Salpingitis, unspecified). The official index lists 19 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on N70.91.
Within N70.9, choose N70.91 (Salpingitis, unspecified) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: oophoritis, unspecified (N70.92) and salpingitis and oophoritis, unspecified (N70.93).
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.
