ICD-10-CM Code N39.3Stress incontinence (female) (male) ICD-10-CM Code. N39.3. Billable codes are sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis. N39.3 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of stress incontinence (female) (male).
ICD-10-CM Code for Stress incontinence (female) (male) N39.3 ICD-10 code N39.3 for Stress incontinence (female) (male) is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the genitourinary system .
The ICD-10-CM code N39.3 might also be used to specify conditions or terms like female stress incontinence, genuine stress incontinence, giggle incontinence of urine, male urinary stress incontinence, orgasmic incontinence of urine , stress incontinence after prostatectomy, etc.
N39.3 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of stress incontinence (female) (male). A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
Stress incontinence, also known as stress urinary incontinence (SUI) or effort incontinence is a form of urinary incontinence. It is due to insufficient strength of the closure of the bladder.
Functional incontinence happens when a physical or mental disability, trouble speaking, or some other problem keeps you from getting to the toilet in time. For example, someone with arthritis may have trouble unbuttoning his or her pants, or a person with Alzheimer's disease may not realize they need to plan to use the toilet.
Mixed incontinence means that you have more than one type of incontinence. It's usually a combination of stress and urge incontinence.
Overflow incontinence happens when your bladder doesn't empty all the way. This causes too much urine to stay in your bladder. Your bladder gets too full, and you leak urine. This form of UI is most common in men. Some of the causes include tumors, kidney stones, diabetes, and certain medicines.
N39.3 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of stress incontinence (female) (male). The code N39.3 is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.
Your provider makes a schedule from you, based on information from your bladder diary. After you adjust to the schedule, you gradually wait a little longer between trips to the bathroom. This can help stretch your bladder so it can hold more urine.
FY 2016 - New Code, effective from 10/1/2015 through 9/30/2016 (First year ICD-10-CM implemented into the HIPAA code set)
It is often related to an overactive bladder. Urge incontinence is most common in older people. It can sometimes be a sign of a urinary tract infection (UTI). It can also happen in some neurological conditions, such as multiple sclerosis and spinal cord injuries.
Major types of incontinence include urinary urge incontinence and urinary stress incontinence. Urinary incontinence is loss of bladder control. Symptoms can range from mild leaking to uncontrollable wetting. It can happen to anyone, but it becomes more common with age.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM R32 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Involuntary loss of urine, such as leaking of urine. It is a symptom of various underlying pathological processes. Major types of incontinence include urinary urge incontinence and urinary stress incontinence.
Look for Sclerosis, sclerotic/renal directing you to N26.9. To find inflammation of the ureter. Next look for Ureteritis directing you to N28.89
Rationale: Code 52001 describes a cystourethroscopy with irrigation and evacuation of multiple obstructing clots. In the CPT® Index locate Evacuation/Clots/Endoscopic. Codes 52214, 52400 and 52005 describe various procedures that were not performed.
Rationale: Creation of a neobladder allows the patient the ability to void and is reported with 51596. In CPT® code 51580 an -ostomy is created and urine is emptied into an appliance bag. In CPT® 51590 a catheter is placed and used to remove urine from the body. Look in the CPT® Index for Neobladder/Construction.
Rationale: In the CPT® Index look for Insertion/Prosthesis/Urethral Sphincter. You're directed to 53444-53445. Codes 53446-53448 are for the removal or removal/replacement of the inflatable sphincter. CPT® 53445 describes the insertion of an inflatable urethra/bladder neck sphincter, including placement of pump, reservoir and cuff.
Rationale: In the CPT® Index look for Urethra/Dilation/Suppository and/or Instillation. CPT® 53660 is for the initial dilation. CPT® 53605 and 53665 are reported when general or spinal anesthesia is provided. No type of anesthesia is indicated in the note. This is a repeat procedure and the subsequent CPT® code 53661 is reported.
In the ICD-10-CM Table of the Neoplasms look for Neoplasm, neoplastic/bladder (urinary)/dome and select the code from the Malignant Primary column which directs you to code C67.1. If the provider documentation does not report the exact location of the tumor, using the unspecified diagnosis code C67.9. Verify code selection in the Tabular List.
Procedure: Cystoscopy and dilation of urethral stricture.
Rationale: In the CPT® Index, look for Circumcision/Surgical Excision/Neonate 54150, 54160. A Plastibell is a type of device used in a circumcision. Code 54150 is correct. Modifier 52 is not required; because a dorsal penile nerve block was used.
RATIONALE: Acute pyelonephritis is coded N10, unless mention of a lesion of renal medullary necrosis is documented. Do not use chronic pyelone-phritis because the documentation clearly states "acute." Look in the ICD-10-CM Alphabetic Index for Pylonephritis/acute N10. Verify code selection in the Tabular List.
RATIONALE: Umbilical hernia repair codes are reported using CPT® 49580-49587 and are differentiated by the age of the patient and whether or not the hernia is reducible, incarcerated or strangulated. A reducible hernia is one that can be reduced to a normal position. An incarcerated or strangulated hernia is one that cannot be reduced to a normal position without surgical intervention. The description of CPT® 51500 Excision of urachal cyst or sinus, with or without umbilical hernia repair includes the umbilical hernia repair. Hernia repair is not reported separately; therefore, CPT® 51500 is the correct answer. Look in the CPT® Index for Cyst/Urachal/Bladder/Excision 51500.
RATIONALE: Look in the CPT® Index for Fulguration/Cystourethroscopy with/Tumor. You are referred to 52234-52235, 52240, 52250. When different size bladder tumors are removed in one surgical session, the code selection is based on the largest tumor size. In this example, the largest tumor removed is 3.0 cm. Only one code is reported regardless of the number of tumors removed.
CPT® 11621 describes a malignant lesion excision and is not reported because there is no documentation of a malignant lesion excision. Tip: When determining the specific code to report, the body system or organ should be accessed first, before using the integumentary codes.
The bladder was emptied, and lidocaine jelly was instilled in the urethra. He was extubated and taken to the recovery room in good condition.
Postoperative diagnosis: Bladder/Prostate tumor. (This is the diagnosis if no other positive findings are found in the operative note. In this case, the post-operative diagnosis is different from the pre-operative and has incorporated findings from the operative session and ultimately the pathology report.)
