N49.0 Inflammatory disorders of seminal vesicle
N49.1 Inflammatory disorders of spermatic cord, tunica vaginalis and vas deferens
N49.2 Inflammatory disorders of scrotum
N49.3 Fournier gangrene
N49.8 Inflammatory disorders of other specified male genital organs
N49.9 Inflammatory disorder of unspecified male genital organ

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.
