Bacterial Vaginosis ICD-10-CM Codes

A Bacterial Vaginosis ICD-10-CM code should be utilized in medical documentation when diagnosing or treating a patient for the symptoms or the condition itself.

Bacterial vaginosis is usually treated with prescribed antibiotics, such as metronidazole or clindamycin, taken orally or applied topically to the vagina. It's essential to take the full course of the drug even if symptoms subside.

A diagnosis code for bacterial vaginosis provides a standardized way of indicating that a patient has been diagnosed with or treated for BV. It facilitates clinical care, research initiatives, and administrative tasks, such as billing for healthcare services.
