What abnormal uterine bleeding ICD codes can I use?
There are no specific abnormal uterine bleeding ICD codes because abnormal uterine bleeding is a result of certain complications. Given that, professionals will use specific ICD-10 codes for the actual complications that cause the bleeding. Here are six examples of these ICD-10 codes:
- C54.1 - Malignant neoplasm of endometrium
This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on a female patient confirmed to have a malignant neoplasm in their endometrium, which is the uterus’ innermost lining. This means that the female patient has uterine cancer. A symptom of uterine cancer is abnormal uterine bleeding.
- D25.0 - Submucous leiomyoma of uterus
This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on a female patient confirmed to have submucous leiomyoma in their uterus. These are benign tumors that project into the endometrial cavity of the uterus. Submucous leiomyoma can cause abnormal uterine bleeding.
- D25.1 - Intramural leiomyoma of uterus
This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on a female patient confirmed to have intramural leiomyoma in their uterus. These are benign tumors that grow inside the uterine wall. Intramural leiomyoma can cause abnormal uterine bleeding.
- D25.2 - Subserosal leiomyoma of uterus
This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on a female patient confirmed to have subserosal leiomyoma in their uterus. These are benign tumors that grow on the outer uterine wall. Subserosal leiomyoma can cause abnormal uterine bleeding.
- D25.9 - Leiomyoma of uterus, unspecified
This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on a female patient confirmed to have leiomyoma in their uterus. This is an unspecified ICD-10 code. It refers to an unspecified type of leiomyoma of the uterus in female patients. Once the specific type of leiomyoma has been identified, it is recommended to use a more precise code, like the previous three codes mentioned.
- D68.9 - Coagulation defect, unspecified
This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on a female patient confirmed to have a coagulation defect. This is an unspecified ICD-10 code. In the context of this ICD-10 code, what is unspecified is the cause of the coagulation defect the female patient has. Once the specific cause is identified, it’s best to use a more specific code. Abnormal uterine bleeding can be the reason to use this code.
