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 4 more specific codes instead:

  • N40.0 Benign prostatic hyperplasia without lower urinary tract symptoms
  • N40.1 Benign prostatic hyperplasia with lower urinary tract symptoms
  • N40.2 Nodular prostate without lower urinary tract symptoms
  • N40.3 Nodular prostate with lower urinary tract symptoms

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.

  1. FY2012 Added to the draft code set draft Enlarged prostate
  2. FY2017 Description revised Enlarged prostate Benign prostatic hyperplasia
