Why ICD-10 codes are important
The ICD-10-CM is a catalog of diagnosis codes used by medical professionals for medical coding and reporting in health care settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates.
N95.2ICD-10 code: N95. 2 Postmenopausal atrophic vaginitis.

Other inflammation of vagina and vulva ICD-10-CM N76. 89 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v39.0):
A condition in which the tissues lining the inside of the vagina (birth canal) become thin, dry, and inflamed. This is caused by a decrease in the amount of estrogen (a female hormone) made by the body. Symptoms of atrophic vaginitis include vaginal dryness, itching, and burning, and pain during sexual intercourse.
Vaginal dryness is a painful symptom that many women may experience at some point during their lives. This symptom can be caused by a decrease in hormone levels, breastfeeding or certain medications. It's commonly linked to menopause. Treatment options for vaginal dryness typically depend on the cause of the symptom.
Reduced estrogen levels are the main cause of vaginal dryness. Estrogen is a hormone that helps keep vaginal tissue healthy by maintaining normal vaginal lubrication, tissue elasticity and acidity. Other causes of vaginal dryness include certain medical conditions or hygiene practices.
Why does vaginal dryness occur? Dryness happens when the vagina's natural lubrication levels decrease, which is caused by lower level of the hormone oestrogen.

The Index to Diseases and Injuries is an alphabetical listing of medical terms, with each term mapped to one or more ICD-10 code (s). The following references for the code N89.8 are found in the index:
The Medicare Code Editor (MCE) detects and reports errors in the coding of claims data. The following ICD-10 Code Edits are applicable to this code:
The following clinical terms are approximate synonyms or lay terms that might be used to identify the correct diagnosis code:
The General Equivalency Mapping (GEM) crosswalk indicates an approximate mapping between the ICD-10 code N89.8 its ICD-9 equivalent. 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.
Vaginal problems are some of the most common reasons women go to the doctor. They may have symptoms such as
N95.2 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of postmenopausal atrophic vaginitis. The code N95.2 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 N95.2 might also be used to specify conditions or terms like atrophic vaginitis, atrophic vulvovaginitis, atrophy of vagina, perimenopausal atrophic vaginitis, vaginitis , vulvovaginitis, etc.#N#The code N95.2 is applicable to female patients only. It is clinically and virtually impossible to use this code on a non-female patient.#N#The code is commonly used in ob/gyn medical specialties to specify clinical concepts such as selected menopausal and other perimenopausal disorders.
Vaginitis, also called vulvovaginitis, is an inflammation or infection of the vagina. It can also affect the vulva, which is the external part of a woman's genitals. Vaginitis can cause itching, pain, discharge, and odor. Vaginitis is common, especially in women in their reproductive years.
Trichomoniasis is a common sexually transmitted disease. It is caused by a parasite. You can also have vaginitis if you are allergic or sensitive to certain products that you use. Examples include vaginal sprays, douches, spermicides, soaps, detergents, or fabric softeners.
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most common vaginal infection in women ages 15-44. It happens when there is an imbalance between the "good" and "harmful" bacteria that are normally found in a woman's vagina. Many things can change the balance of bacteria, including. Taking antibiotics.
With BV, you may not have symptoms. You could have a thin white or gray vaginal discharge. There may be an odor, such as a strong fish-like odor, especially after sex. Yeast infections produce a thick, white discharge from the vagina that can look like cottage cheese.
