- mixed incontinence (N39.46)
Code also
Both codes may be needed to describe the encounter fully. Sequencing depends on the reason for the visit.
- any associated overactive bladder (N32.81)
Excludes2 inherited from the categories above N39.3
Not part of this code, but both may be coded when both are present.
