Why ICD-10 codes are important
A bladder diverticulum is a pouch in the bladder wall that a person may either be born with ("congenital") or get later ("acquired"). A congenital bladder diverticulum forms when some of the bladder lining pokes through a weak part in the bladder wall.
Hutch diverticulum is a congenital diverticulum of the urinary bladder, reported infrequently in children and rare amongst adults. We present a 60-year-old male patient with bilateral Hutch diverticula, detected incidentally during an abdominal ultrasound examination performed for blunt abdominal trauma.
Other specified disorders of bladder N32. 89 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 N32. 89 became effective on October 1, 2021.
0 - Urinary tract infection, site not specified.
The prevalence of bladder diverticula in association with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is approximately 6%. Although many bladder diverticula are asymptomatic, they can be incidentally discovered on evaluation for hematuria, bladder outlet obstruction, or urinary tract infection.
What causes a urethral diverticulum? Urethral diverticula are thought to be congenital (present at birth) or acquired. Vaginal birth and trauma have been thought to contribute to the formation of a urethral diverticulum, where the urethral muscoa (inner layer) herniates through the muscular layers.
ICD-10 code N32. 89 for Other specified disorders of bladder is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the genitourinary system .
8, "overlapping lesion," unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere. "Overlapping" implies that the sites involved are contiguous (next to each other). While numerically consecutive subcategories are frequently anatomically contiguous, this is not invariably so (for example bladder, C67).
Urothelial cells (UC) are classified as transitional epithelium, and they cover almost the entire luminal surface of the urinary tract. This includes the renal pelvis, ureters, bladder, and the proximal segment of the urethra. Urothelium provides a robust permeability barrier across the urinary tract.
CMS did note that some “unspecified” codes could still be used. For example, one of the codes they reclassified as “acceptable” — Urinary tract infection, site not specified (N39. 0) — is often the primary diagnosis code.
N39. 0 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 N39. 0 became effective on October 1, 2021.

Urinary bladder disease includes urinary bladder inflammation such as cystitis, bladder rupture and bladder obstruction (tamponade).
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 596.3 was previously used, N32.3 is the appropriate modern ICD10 code.
N32.3 is a valid billable ICD-10 diagnosis code for Diverticulum of bladder . 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 .
DO NOT include the decimal point when electronically filing claims as it may be rejected. Some clearinghouses may remove it for you but to avoid having a rejected claim due to an invalid ICD-10 code, do not include the decimal point when submitting claims electronically. See also:
cystitis - inflammation of the bladder, often from an infection. urinary incontinence - loss of bladder control. interstitial cystitis - a chronic problem that causes bladder pain and frequent, urgent urination. bladder cancer.
doctors diagnose bladder diseases using different tests. These include urine tests, x-rays, and an examination of the bladder wall with a scope called a cystoscope. Treatment depends on the cause of the problem. It may include medicines and, in severe cases, surgery.
A representative example of neoplastic bladder disorder is bladder carcinoma. Disease or disorder of the urinary bladder, the musculomembranous sac in the anterior of the pelvic cavity that serves as a reservoir for urine, which it receives through the ureters and discharges through the urethra.
