  • N76.1 Subacute and chronic vaginitis
  • N76.2 Acute vulvitis
  • N76.3 Subacute and chronic vulvitis

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.
