ICD Code N83.2 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the two child codes of N83.2 that describes the diagnosis 'other and unspecified ovarian cysts' in more detail. The ICD code N832 is used to code Ovarian cyst.
A nabothian cyst (or nabothian follicle) is a mucus-filled cyst on the surface of the cervix. They are most often caused when stratified squamous epithelium of the ectocervix (toward the vagina) grows over the simple columnar epithelium of the endocervix (toward the uterus).
N88.8 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2019 edition of ICD-10-CM N88.8 became effective on October 1, 2018. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of N88.8 - other international versions of ICD-10 N88.8 may differ.
Is there a CPT code for an I & D of a cervical cyst (Nabothian)? There is no exact code for this. If I recall correctly, it would typically be bundled into the E/M if done in office. If it was significant additional work, you would need to use unlisted.
A nabothian cyst is a lump filled with mucus on the surface of the cervix or cervical canal. The cervix is located at the lower end of the womb (uterus) at the top of the vagina. It is about 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) long. The cervix is lined with glands that normally secrete mucus.
Nabothian cysts are generally not mentioned in the pathology report, unless there was clinical / radiological concern of a malignant process.
Other biomechanical lesions of cervical region M99. 81 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 M99. 81 became effective on October 1, 2021.
When mucus builds up in the blocked glands, it forms a smooth bump called a nabothian cyst. Because new tissue growth can cause cysts to form, an injury to or an infection of the cervix, such as cervicitis, can cause nabothian cysts.
Sometimes, particularly if large, Nabothian cysts will be seen to have a significant blood vessel or two coursing over the surface. These are of no concern, though if tampered with, they may bleed.
Possible Symptoms of Nabothian CystsCysts measuring few millimeters to 4 centimeters in diameter.Smooth texture.White or yellow in appearance.Severe pain in the cervical region, especially during sexual intercourse.Pelvic pain.Dragging sensation.Raised bumps.Irregular bleeding and vaginal discharge.More items...•
ICD-10 code N83. 20 for Unspecified ovarian cysts is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the genitourinary system .
Answer From Tatnai Burnett, M.D. Cervical cysts aren't cancerous. The most common variety is a nabothian (nuh-BOW-thee-un) cyst, which forms when normal tissue on the outer part of the cervix grows over the glandular, mucus-producing tissue of the inner part of the cervix.
Other ovarian cysts ICD-10-CM N83. 291 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v39.0): 742 Uterine and adnexa procedures for non-malignancy with cc/mcc.
Nabothian cysts are mucus-filled cysts that occur on the surface of the cervix. They are usually 0.2 to 0.3 cm in diameter, but they can exceed 1 cm in diameter. In most cases, nabothian cysts reflect the physiological changes in the cervix, but they are sometimes related to chronic cervicitis.
In most cases, bumps on the cervix are benign, or noncancerous, growths, such as polyps or cysts. In some cases, however, they may indicate the presence of cervical cancer. A doctor might discover a bump on the cervix during a routine pelvic examination or a Pap smear test.
A nabothian cyst (or nabothian follicle) is a mucus-filled cyst on the surface of the cervix. They are most often caused when stratified squamous epithelium of the ectocervix (toward the vagina) grows over the simple columnar epithelium of the endocervix (toward the uterus).
Type-1 Excludes mean the conditions excluded are mutually exclusive and should never be coded together. Excludes 1 means "do not code here."

This is the official exact match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that in all cases where the ICD9 code 622.8 was previously used, N88.8 is the appropriate modern ICD10 code.
An ovarian cyst is any fluid-filled sac within the ovary. Often they cause no symptoms. Occasionally they may produce bloating, lower abdominal pain, or lower back pain. If the cyst either breaks open or causes twisting of the ovary severe pain may occur. This may result in vomiting or feeling faint. The majority of cysts are, however, harmless.
Type-1 Excludes mean the conditions excluded are mutually exclusive and should never be coded together. Excludes 1 means "do not code here."
