N76.81 — Mucositis (ulcerative) of vagina and vulva
N76.81 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for mucositis (ulcerative) of vagina and vulva. It is valid for submission on a claim.
Excludes2 — not included here, but may coexist
The excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient can have both. You may code both.
Code also
Both codes may be needed to describe the encounter fully. Sequencing depends on the reason for the visit.
Excludes2 inherited from the categories above N76.81
Also inherited, and the opposite of Excludes1: these conditions are not part of N76.81, but a patient can have both, so you may code both.
Other codes that can never be billed with N76.81
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at N76.81. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading N76.81 alone.
Risk adjustment
N76.81 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.
How N76.81 is indexed
Coders do not find codes by browsing the tabular list — they look them up in the alphabetic index, under the word the physician wrote. These are the index entries that lead here, so you can see which chart wordings map to N76.81.
