N31Neuromuscular dysfunction of bladder, not elsewhere classified

Not billable

Is N31 billable?

No — N31 is a non-billable header code. N31 groups more specific codes and cannot be submitted on a claim. A valid ICD-10-CM code must be reported at the highest level of specificity available in its branch. Select one of the 5 billable codes beneath N31.

Excludes1 — never code together

The conditions below can never be reported together with N31 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

  • cord bladder NOS (G95.89)
  • neurogenic bladder due to cauda equina syndrome (G83.4)
  • neuromuscular dysfunction due to spinal cord lesion (G95.89)

Use additional code

Report an additional code alongside N31 to fully describe the condition. N31 is sequenced first.

  • code to identify any associated urinary incontinence (N39.3-N39.4-)

Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 14

The conditions below are not part of N31, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, N31 and the excluded code may both be reported.

  • certain conditions originating in the perinatal period (P04-P96)
  • certain infectious and parasitic diseases (A00-B99)
  • complications of pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (O00-O9A)
  • congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities (Q00-Q99)
  • endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases (E00-E88)
  • injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes (S00-T88)
  • neoplasms (C00-D49)
  • symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified (R00-R94)

Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from N30-N39

The conditions below are not part of N31, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, N31 and the excluded code may both be reported.

  • urinary infection (complicating):
  • abortion or ectopic or molar pregnancy (O00-O07, O08.8)
  • pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (O23.-, O75.3, O86.2-)

What codes fall under N31? (5)

How long has N31 existed?

N31 has been in ICD-10-CM since at least FY2016, the earliest fiscal year on record here.

Derived from the official order files for FY2016–FY2026. FY2017 and FY2020 publish no order file, so those years are not covered.

Which codes are confused with N31?

ICD-10-CM declares these codes mutually exclusive with N31 — exactly one of each pair can be correct for a given encounter.
