Questions About N76Overview

What is the ICD-10 code for other inflammation of vagina and vulva?

N76 is the ICD-10-CM category for other inflammation of vagina and vulva, but it is a non-billable header: claims need a more specific code from this category, listed on this page.

Is N76 (Other inflammation of vagina and vulva) a billable code?

No. This is a category header that groups the codes for other inflammation of vagina and vulva, and headers cannot be submitted on claims. Claims for other inflammation of vagina and vulva need a more specific code from this category, such as N76.0, N76.1, and N76.2.

Can N76 be reported with O08.0?

Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note at block N70-N77, which applies to N76, lists "abortion or ectopic or molar pregnancy (O00-O07, O08.0)".
