N76.82 — Fournier disease of vagina and vulva
N76.82 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for fournier disease of vagina and vulva. It is valid for submission on a claim.
Excludes1 — never code together
These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.
Code also
Both codes may be needed to describe the encounter fully. Sequencing depends on the reason for the visit.
Inclusion terms
Alternative wordings a physician may use in the chart for this same code.
- Fournier gangrene of vagina and vulva
Excludes2 inherited from the categories above N76.82
Also inherited, and the opposite of Excludes1: these conditions are not part of N76.82, but a patient can have both, so you may code both.
Other codes that can never be billed with N76.82
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at N76.82. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading N76.82 alone.
Risk adjustment
N76.82 risk-adjusts. Under the CMS-HCC V28 model it maps to this category:
- HCC 92 Bone/Joint/Muscle/Severe Soft Tissue Infections/Necrosis0.479 RAF
Coefficient shown for the Community Non-dual Aged segment. A higher HCC in the same hierarchy will suppress this one, so capturing it does not always add score.
Medicare coverage
N76.82 is named in 4 Medicare coverage policies — 4 listing it as supporting medical necessity. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.
