N87.9 — Dysplasia of cervix uteri, unspecified
N87.9 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for dysplasia of cervix uteri, unspecified. It is valid for submission on a claim.
Inclusion terms
Alternative wordings a physician may use in the chart for this same code.
- Anaplasia of cervix
- Cervical atypism
- Cervical dysplasia NOS
Excludes1 inherited from the categories above N87.9
These are not written on N87.9, but they bind it: a note on a category applies to every code beneath it. Billing N87.9 with anything listed here is a denial.
Other codes that can never be billed with N87.9
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at N87.9. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading N87.9 alone.
Risk adjustment
N87.9 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 N87.9 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 N87.9.
- Anaplasia cervix
- Atypical, atypism›cervical
- Dysplasia›cervix(uteri)
- Neoplasia›intraepithelial›cervix(uteri) (CIN) (histologically confirmed)
Code history
N87.9 has not changed since FY2024 — no addition, revision or deletion across the three most recent ICD-10-CM releases.
