N93.9 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of abnormal uterine and vaginal bleeding, unspecified. The code N93.9 is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.#N#The ICD-10-CM code N93.9 might also be used to specify conditions or terms like abnormal uterine bleeding, abnormal uterine bleeding due to adenomyosis, abnormal uterine bleeding due to endocervical polyp, abnormal uterine bleeding due to endometrial disorder, abnormal uterine bleeding due to endometrial hyperplasia , abnormal uterine bleeding due to endometrial polyp, etc.#N#The code N93.9 is applicable to female patients only. It is clinically and virtually impossible to use this code on a non-female patient.#N#Unspecified diagnosis codes like N93.9 are acceptable when clinical information is unknown or not available about a particular condition. Although a more specific code is preferable, unspecified codes should be used when such codes most accurately reflect what is known about a patient's condition. Specific diagnosis codes should not be used if not supported by the patient's medical record.

The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 code and the ICD-9 code and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.
Unspecified diagnosis codes like N93.9 are acceptable when clinical information is unknown or not available about a particular condition. Although a more specific code is preferable, unspecified codes should be used when such codes most accurately reflect what is known about a patient's condition.

NEC Not elsewhere classifiable#N#This abbreviation in the Tabular List represents “other specified”. When a specific code is not available for a condition, the Tabular List includes an NEC entry under a code to identify the code as the “other specified” code.
List of terms is included under some codes. These terms are the conditions for which that code is to be used. The terms may be synonyms of the code title, or, in the case of “other specified” codes, the terms are a list of the various conditions assigned to that code.
When an Excludes2 note appears under a code it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together. A “code also” note instructs that two codes may be required to fully describe a condition, but this note does not provide sequencing direction. The sequencing depends on the circumstances of the encounter.
