Specific Coding for Abnormal cytological findings in specimens from vagina
Non-specific codes like R87.62 require more digits to indicate the appropriate level of specificity. Consider using any of the following ICD-10 codes with a higher level of specificity when coding for abnormal cytological findings in specimens from vagina:
- BILLABLE CODE - Use R87.620 for Atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance on cytologic smear of vagina (ASC-US)
- BILLABLE CODE - Use R87.621 for Atypical squamous cells cannot exclude high grade squamous intraepithelial lesion on cytologic smear of vagina (ASC-H)
- BILLABLE CODE - Use R87.622 for Low grade squamous intraepithelial lesion on cytologic smear of vagina (LGSIL)
- BILLABLE CODE - Use R87.623 for High grade squamous intraepithelial lesion on cytologic smear of vagina (HGSIL)
- BILLABLE CODE - Use R87.624 for Cytologic evidence of malignancy on smear of vagina
- BILLABLE CODE - Use R87.625 for Unsatisfactory cytologic smear of vagina
- BILLABLE CODE - Use R87.628 for Other abnormal cytological findings on specimens from vagina
- BILLABLE CODE - Use R87.629 for Unspecified abnormal cytological findings in specimens from vagina
Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries
The Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries is a list of ICD-10 codes, organized "head to toe" into chapters and sections with coding notes and guidance for inclusions, exclusions, descriptions and more. The following references are applicable to this diagnosis code:
Use Additional Code
Use Additional CodeThe “use additional code” indicates that a secondary code could be used to further specify the patient’s condition. This note is not mandatory and is only used if enough information is available to assign an additional code.
- code to identify acquired absence of uterus and cervix, if applicable Z90.71
Type 1 Excludes
Type 1 ExcludesA type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
- abnormal cytological findings in specimens from cervix uteri R87.61
- abnormal cytological findings in specimens from other female genital organs R87.69
- carcinoma in situ of vagina histologically confirmed D07.2
- vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia I VAIN I N89.0
- vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia II VAIN II N89.1
- vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia III VAIN III D07.2
- dysplasia mild moderate of vagina histologically confirmed N89
- severe dysplasia of vagina histologically confirmed D07.2
Type 2 Excludes
Type 2 ExcludesA type 2 excludes note represents "Not included here". An excludes2 note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition represented by the code, but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When an Excludes2 note appears under a code, it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together, when appropriate.
