N94.3 — Premenstrual tension syndrome
N94.3 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for premenstrual tension syndrome. 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.
- Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (F32.81)
Code also
Both codes may be needed to describe the encounter fully. Sequencing depends on the reason for the visit.
Other codes that can never be billed with N94.3
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at N94.3. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading N94.3 alone.
- F32.81Premenstrual dysphoric disorder
Risk adjustment
N94.3 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
N94.3 is named in 1 Medicare coverage policy — 1 listing it as supporting medical necessity. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.
