Neurogenic Bladder ICD-10-CM Codes

What Neurogenic Bladder ICD-10 codes can I use?

You’ll likely have trouble finding Neurogenic Bladder ICD codes because there are no ICD-10 codes that specifically mention Neurogenic Bladder in their names. That doesn’t mean there aren’t any, though! They just go by the following terms: neuromuscular dysfunction of bladder and neuropathic bladder.

Here are examples of ICD-10 codes related to cases of neurogenic bladder:

• N31.9 - Neuromuscular dysfunction of bladder, unspecified

This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on patients confirmed to have neuromuscular dysfunctions of the bladder. What’s unspecified is the kind of neuromuscular dysfunction that they have. Once you identify the dysfunction, you must use a more specific ICD-10 code.

• N31.2 - Flaccid neuropathic bladder, not elsewhere classified

This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on patients confirmed to have flaccid neuropathic bladders. The elsewhere classified label means that the condition is fully characterized but doesn’t fit established classifications.

This condition is characterized by weak bladder muscles, the inability to empty the bladder, urine leakage because of an overfilled bladder, and the loss of the urge to urinate.

• N32.81 - Overactive bladder

This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on patients confirmed to have an overactive bladder, a neurogenic bladder characteristic. This results in the sudden urge to urinate, especially frequently.

• N39.498 - Other specified urinary incontinence

This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on patients confirmed to have urinary incontinence. This should only be used if the specific type of urinary incontinence has no specific ICD-10 code.

• N31.8 - Other neuromuscular dysfunction of bladder

This is similar to Item 4, but this time, it’s for neuromuscular dysfunctions that don’t have specific ICD-10 codes.

• N31.0 - Uninhibited neuropathic bladder, not elsewhere classified

This is similar to Item 3, but it’s best used when the uninhibited/overactive neuropathic bladder has other characteristics that don’t fit established classifications.

Are these Neurogenic Bladder ICD-10 codes billable?

Yes. These ICD-10 codes for Neurogenic Bladder are valid and billable.

Clinical information about Neurogenic Bladder:

• Neurogenic bladder is a condition characterized by a lack of bladder control due to an issue with the nervous system.
• The causes can include diseases such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, diabetes, and spinal cord injuries.
• Symptoms typically include frequent urination, incontinence, incomplete bladder emptying, and urinary tract infections.
• It can be diagnosed using tests such as urodynamic studies, urinary flow tests, post-void residual measurements, and imaging tests.
• Treatment options can range from behavioral therapies, such as bladder training and scheduled toileting, to medications and surgical interventions.

Synonyms include:

• Abnormal compliance of bladder
• Functional disorder of bladder
• Neurogenic bladder as late effect of cerebrovascular accident
• Neurogenic bladder as late effect of poliomyelitis
• Neurogenic bladder due to quadriplegia
• Neurogenic bladder due to spina bifida
• Neurogenic dysfunction of the urinary bladder
