N81.2 — Incomplete uterovaginal prolapse
N81.2 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for incomplete uterovaginal prolapse. 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.
- cervical stump prolapse (N81.85)
Inclusion terms
Alternative wordings a physician may use in the chart for this same code.
- First degree uterine prolapse
- Prolapse of cervix NOS
- Second degree uterine prolapse
Excludes1 inherited from the categories above N81.2
These are not written on N81.2, but they bind it: a note on a category applies to every code beneath it. Billing N81.2 with anything listed here is a denial.
Other codes that can never be billed with N81.2
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at N81.2. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading N81.2 alone.
Risk adjustment
N81.2 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
N81.2 is named in 2 Medicare coverage policies — 2 listing it as supporting medical necessity. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.

- A57455Billing and Coding: Urodynamics
How N81.2 is indexed
