ICD-10 Code for Endometritis
Also indexed as (decidual) (nonspecific) (purulent) (senile) (atrophic) (suppurative)
The ICD-10-CM code for endometritis is N71.9 — Inflammatory disease of uterus, unspecified. This is the code the Alphabetic Index gives for endometritis with no further qualifier, valid for FY2027 (October 1, 2026 – September 30, 2027).
N71.9 is billable but unspecified. If the documentation names a type, site or cause, one of the more specific codes below is likely expected.
Which endometritis code should you use?
The Alphabetic Index lists 10 codes under Endometritis. Which one applies depends on the qualifier documented in the record — the type, site, cause, or associated condition. Find the qualifier below, then verify the code in the Tabular List before using it.
