N76 — Other inflammation of vagina and vulva
Is N76 billable?
No — N76 is a non-billable header code. N76 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 10 billable codes beneath N76.

Use additional code
Report an additional code alongside N76 to fully describe the condition. N76 is sequenced first.
- code (B95-B97), to identify infectious agent
Excludes2 — not included here
The conditions below are not part of N76, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, N76 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from N70-N77
The conditions below can never be reported together with N76 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 14
The conditions below are not part of N76, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, N76 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)
Code also — inherited from N70-N77
Two codes may be needed to describe the condition fully. Whether N76 is sequenced first depends on the reason for the encounter.
- , if applicable, pelvic abscess (K6A.0-)

How long has N76 existed?
