Neurogenic Bladder ICD-10-CM Codes

What neurogenic bladder ICD-10 codes can I use?

You'll likely have trouble finding neurogenic bladder dysfunction ICD codes because there are no ICD-10 codes that specifically mention neurogenic bladder in their names. That doesn't mean there aren't any, though! They just go by the following terms: neuromuscular dysfunction of bladder and neuropathic bladder.

Here are examples of ICD-10 codes related to cases of neurogenic bladder:

N31.9 - Neuromuscular dysfunction of bladder, unspecified

This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on patients confirmed to have bladder neuromuscular dysfunction. What's unspecified is the kind of neuromuscular dysfunction that they have. Once you identify the dysfunction, you must use a more specific ICD-10 code.

N31.2 - Flaccid neuropathic bladder, not elsewhere classified

This code is for patients with a classified flaccid neuropathic bladder. The "not elsewhere classified" designation means the condition is fully characterized but doesn't fit into other established classifications. This condition is characterized by weak bladder muscles, inability to empty the bladder, urine leakage because of an overfilled bladder, and loss of the urge to urinate.

N32.81 - Overactive bladder

This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on patients confirmed to have an overactive bladder, a neurogenic bladder characteristic. This results in the sudden urge to urinate, especially frequently.

N39.498 - Other specified urinary incontinence

This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on patients confirmed to have urinary incontinence. This should only be used if the specific type of urinary incontinence has no specific ICD-10 code.

N31.8 - Other neuromuscular dysfunction of bladder

This is similar to N39.498, but this time, it's for neuromuscular dysfunctions that don't have specific ICD-10 codes.

N31.0 - Uninhibited neuropathic bladder, not elsewhere classified

This is similar to N32.81, but it's best used when the uninhibited/overactive neuropathic bladder has other characteristics that don't fit established classifications.

G83.4 - Cauda equina syndrome

This code is used when neurogenic bladder due to cauda equina syndrome is present.

Are these neurogenic bladder ICD-10 codes billable?

Yes. These ICD-10 codes for neurogenic bladder disorders are valid and billable. However, some may require additional codes to fully describe the underlying condition.

For certain codes, you may need to use additional codes to identify the underlying condition:

• For neurogenic bladder as a late effect of cerebrovascular accident, use additional codes from the I69 category.
• For neurogenic bladder due to spinal cord injury or spinal cord lesion, use an additional code to identify the level and type of spinal cord injury.
• For neurogenic bladder due to spina bifida, use additional code from Q05 category.

Clinical information:

• Neurogenic bladder is a condition characterized by a lack of bladder control due to an issue with the nervous system.
• The causes can include diseases such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, diabetes, and spinal cord injuries.
• Symptoms typically include frequent urination, incontinence, incomplete bladder emptying, and urinary tract infections.
• It can be diagnosed using tests such as urodynamic studies, urinary flow tests, post-void residual measurements, and imaging tests.
• Treatment options can range from behavioral therapies, such as bladder training and scheduled toileting, to medications and surgical interventions.

Synonyms include:

• Abnormal compliance of bladder
• Functional disorder of bladder
• Neurogenic bladder as late effect of cerebrovascular accident
• Neurogenic bladder as late effect of poliomyelitis
• Neurogenic bladder due to quadriplegia
• Neurogenic bladder due to spina bifida
• Neurogenic dysfunction of the urinary bladder
• Paraplegia with neurogenic bladder
• Neurogenic bladder ICD 10
• Neurogenic bladder dysfunction NOS
