Questions About N52Overview

What is the ICD-10 code for male erectile dysfunction?

N52 is the ICD-10-CM category for male erectile dysfunction, but it is a non-billable header: claims need a more specific code from this category, listed on this page.

Is N52 (Male erectile dysfunction) a billable code?

No. This is a category header that groups the codes for male erectile dysfunction, and headers cannot be submitted on claims. Claims for male erectile dysfunction need a more specific code from this category, such as N52.01, N52.02, and N52.03.

Can N52 be reported with F52.21?

Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note on N52 lists "psychogenic impotence (F52.21)". An Excludes1 note means the excluded code is never reported together with this one; the only exception is when the two conditions are unrelated to each other (Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
