N36

Other disorders of urethra

Not billableICD-10-CM diagnosis code.

This code exists but cannot be submitted on its own. It groups the more specific codes beneath it.

A category header for its whole life, FY2016 onwards. It has never been valid for submission on its own.

Submit one of these 7 more specific codes instead:

  • N36.0 Urethral fistula
  • N36.1 Urethral diverticulum
  • N36.2 Urethral caruncle
  • N36.4 Urethral functional and muscular disorders (also a header)
  • N36.5 Urethral false passage
  • N36.8 Other specified disorders of urethra
  • N36.9 Urethral disorder, unspecified

What has happened to this code

Every change the publisher made, from 2012 to now. Entries marked draft are from the pre-implementation releases: ICD-10 took effect on 1 October 2015, so nothing before FY2016 was ever valid on a claim.
