Questions About N53Overview

What is the ICD-10 code for other male sexual dysfunction?

N53 is the ICD-10-CM category for other male sexual dysfunction, but it is a non-billable header: claims need a more specific code from this category, listed on this page.

Is N53 (Other male sexual dysfunction) a billable code?

No. This is a category header that groups the codes for other male sexual dysfunction, and headers cannot be submitted on claims. Claims for other male sexual dysfunction need a more specific code from this category, such as N53.11, N53.12, and N53.13.

Can N53 be reported with a code from F52?

Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note on N53 lists "psychogenic sexual dysfunction (F52.-)". 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).
