N42

Other and unspecified disorders of prostate

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 5 more specific codes instead:

  • N42.0 Calculus of prostate
  • N42.1 Congestion and hemorrhage of prostate
  • N42.3 Dysplasia of prostate (also a header)
  • N42.8 Other specified disorders of prostate (also a header)
  • N42.9 Disorder of prostate, 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.
