Code Classification

  • Diseases of the genitourinary system
    (N00–N99)
    • Noninflammatory disorders of female genital tract
      (N80-N98)
      • Complications associated with artificial fertilization
        (N98)

N98 is a non-specific and non-billable diagnosis code code, consider using a code with a higher level of specificity for a diagnosis of complications associated with artificial fertilization. The code is not specific and is NOT valid for the year 2024 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions. Category or Header define the heading of a category of codes that may be further subdivided by the use of 4th, 5th, 6th or 7th characters.

Specific Coding Applicable to Complications associated with artificial fertilization

Non-specific codes like N98 require more digits to indicate the appropriate level of specificity. Consider using any of the following ICD-10-CM codes with a higher level of specificity when coding for complications associated with artificial fertilization:

  • Use N98.0 for Infection associated with artificial insemination - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use N98.1 for Hyperstimulation of ovaries - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use N98.2 for Complications of attempted introduction of fertilized ovum following in vitro fertilization - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use N98.3 for Complications of attempted introduction of embryo in embryo transfer - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use N98.8 for Other complications associated with artificial fertilization - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use N98.9 for Complication associated with artificial fertilization, unspecified - BILLABLE CODE

Patient Education


Assisted Reproductive Technology

Assisted reproductive technology (ART) is used to treat infertility. It includes fertility treatments that handle both eggs and sperm. It works by removing eggs from the ovaries. The eggs are then mixed with sperm to make embryos. The embryos are then put back in the parent's body. In vitro fertilization (IVF) is the most common and effective type of ART.

ART procedures sometimes use donor eggs, donor sperm, or previously frozen embryos. It may also involve a surrogate or gestational carrier. A surrogate is a person who becomes pregnant with sperm from one partner of the couple. A gestational carrier becomes pregnant with an egg from one partner and sperm from the other partner.

The most common complication of ART is a multiple pregnancy. It can be prevented or minimized by limiting the number of embryos that are put into the parent's body.

Infertility

Infertility means not being able to become pregnant after a year of trying. If a woman can get pregnant but keeps having miscarriages or stillbirths, that's also called infertility.

Infertility is fairly common. After one year of having unprotected sex, about 15% of couples are unable to get pregnant. About a third of the time, infertility can be traced to the woman. In another third of cases, it is because of the man. The rest of the time, it is because of both partners or no cause can be found.

There are treatments that are specifically for men or for women. Some involve both partners. Drugs, assisted reproductive technology, and surgery are common treatments. Happily, many couples treated for infertility go on to have babies.
