What are Erectile Dysfunction ICD-10-CM Codes?
If you're looking for erectile dysfunction ICD-10 codes, there’s a wide range of options based on cause, diagnosis, and clinical presentation. These ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes help clinicians and billing professionals document male sexual dysfunction accurately, especially when the condition is due to arterial insufficiency, nerve damage, or postprocedural complications.
Below are examples of commonly used, valid and billable ICD-10 codes for male erectile dysfunction (ED):
N52.9 – Male erectile dysfunction, unspecified
This ICD-10-CM code is used when a male patient is confirmed to have erectile dysfunction, but the specific cause is not identified. This is a general diagnosis code for male erectile dysfunction unspecified, used until further evaluation determines an underlying etiology, such as vasculogenic erectile dysfunction, psychological or organ dysfunction, or hormonal imbalances.
N52.01 – Erectile dysfunction due to arterial insufficiency
This code is used when erectile dysfunction is due to arterial insufficiency, which occurs when blood vessels are clogged, leading to inadequate blood flow to the penis. This organic origin of ED is often linked to cardiovascular issues and may be a sign of health problems like atherosclerosis. It affects the penis adequate for sexual intercourse function due to lack of blood pressure during arousal.
N52.02 – Corporo-venous occlusive erectile dysfunction
This code applies when a patient has trouble maintaining an erection during sexual activity due to the reduced ability to trap blood in the penis, also known as venous occlusive erectile dysfunction. It’s a form of organic dysfunction associated with poor corporal venous closure, making erections insufficient for sexual intercourse.
N52.03 – Combined arterial insufficiency and corporo-venous occlusive erectile dysfunction
Used when a male patient has ED from both arterial insufficiency and corporo-venous occlusive dysfunction, leading to a persistent or recurrent inability to achieve or maintain an erection.
N52.1 – Erectile dysfunction due to diseases classified elsewhere
Used when erectile dysfunction is due to diseases classified elsewhere—for example, nerve damage from diabetes, neurological disorders, or male genital organ diseases. This is a secondary diagnosis tied to an underlying issue that affects the ability to achieve an erection during sexual activity.
N52.2 – Drug-induced erectile dysfunction
This code documents drug-induced erectile dysfunction, such as ED caused by medications like antidepressants or antihypertensives. When treating male patients, this diagnosis supports clinical decisions to adjust medication or explore new treatments for ED.
N52.39 – Other and unspecified postprocedural erectile dysfunction
Used for unspecified postprocedural erectile dysfunction, especially when ED results from a medical procedure not specifically coded. This may include surgeries that affect blood flow, nerve integrity, or the genitourinary system. If the condition follows specific procedures, use codes such as:
- N52.31 – Erectile dysfunction following radical prostatectomy
- N52.33 – Erectile dysfunction following urethral surgery
These are specific for ED caused by urethral surgery, radical prostatectomy, or other operations affecting the male genital organs.
