Thickened Endometrium Diagnosis
Endometrial hyperplasia refers to the thickening of the endometrium. This is the layer of cells that line the inside of your uterus. When your endometrium thickens, it can lead to unusual bleeding. While the condition isn’t cancerous, it can sometimes be a precursor to uterine cancer, so it’s best to work with a doctor to monitor any changes.
What to know about endometrial thickness
The most common signs of excessive endometrial thickness include:
ICD-10 Code for Endometrial hyperplasia, unspecified- N85. 00- Codify by AAPC.
621.31 - Simple endometrial hyperplasia without atypia | ICD-10-CM.
Endometrial hyperplasia, unspecified N85. 00 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM N85. 00 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Endometrial hyperplasia thickens the uterus lining, causing heavy or abnormal bleeding. Atypical endometrial hyperplasia raises the risk of endometrial cancer and uterine cancer. The condition tends to occur during or after menopause. Progestin therapy can ease symptoms.
ICD-10 code R93. 89 for Abnormal findings on diagnostic imaging of other specified body structures is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
Endometrial Hyperplasia: A condition in which the lining of the uterus grows too thick. Endometrial Intraepithelial Neoplasia (EIN): A precancerous condition in which areas of the lining of the uterus grow too thick. Endometrium: The lining of the uterus. Estrogen: A female hormone produced in the ovaries.
ICD-9 Code 621.3 -Endometrial cystic hyperplasia- Codify by AAPC.
Among postmenopausal women with vaginal bleeding, an endometrial thickness ≤ 5 mm is generally considered normal, while thicknesses > 5 mm are considered abnormal4, 5.
The code for endometrial biopsy (58100) specifies “without cervical dilation.” It may not be combined with the code for cervical dilation (57800) because of a CCI edit. The appropriate code to use when the cervix is dilated at the time of endometrial biopsy is 58120 (dilation and curettage).
Endometrial hyperplasia occurs when the cells in the uterine lining grow rapidly and/or excessively, but unlike with endometriosis, the lining stays inside the uterus. Mild or simple hyperplasia, the most common type, has a very small risk of becoming cancerous.
The most common treatment is progestin. This can be taken in several forms, including pill, shot, vaginal cream, or intrauterine device. Atypical types of endometrial hyperplasia, especially complex, increase your risk of getting cancer. If you have these types, you might consider a hysterectomy.

Atypical hyperplasia is a precancerous condition that affects cells in the breast. Atypical hyperplasia describes an accumulation of abnormal cells in the milk ducts and lobules of the breast. Atypical hyperplasia isn't cancer, but it increases the risk of breast cancer.

What treatment will I receive for endometrial hyperplasia without atypia? (a) Progesterone: The most effective form of treatment is with progesterone. There is a 90% chance that the cells will go back to normal. This can be given as either a hormone coil (Mirena) that sits inside the uterus, or as tablets.
N85.00 is a valid billable ICD-10 diagnosis code for Endometrial hyperplasia, unspecified . It is found in the 2021 version of the ICD-10 Clinical Modification (CM) and can be used in all HIPAA-covered transactions from Oct 01, 2020 - Sep 30, 2021 .
