Inclusion terms

Alternative wordings a physician may use in the chart for this same code.

Decreased estrogen
Resistant ovary syndrome

Excludes1 inherited from the categories above E28.39

These are not written on E28.39, but they bind it: a note on a category applies to every code beneath it. Billing E28.39 with anything listed here is a denial.

Written on E28.3 — Primary ovarian failure

pure gonadal dysgenesis (Q99.1)
Turner's syndrome (Q96.-)

Written on E28 — Ovarian dysfunction

isolated gonadotropin deficiency (E23.0)
postprocedural ovarian failure (E89.4-)

Other codes that can never be billed with E28.39

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at E28.39. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading E28.39 alone.

N91Absent, scanty and rare menstruation

Risk adjustment

E28.39 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.

Medicare coverage

E28.39 is named in 6 Medicare coverage policies — 6 listing it as supporting medical necessity. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.
