Excludes1 — never code together
The conditions below can never be reported together with N86 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- erosion and ectropion of cervix with cervicitis (N72)
Inclusion terms
Alternative wording in documentation that is classified to N86.
- Decubitus (trophic) ulcer of cervix
- Eversion of cervix
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 14
The conditions below are not part of N86, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, N86 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)
How long has N86 existed?
N86 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 N86?
ICD-10-CM declares these codes mutually exclusive with N86 — exactly one of each pair can be correct for a given encounter.
