N99.2 — Postprocedural adhesions of vagina
N99.2 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for postprocedural adhesions of vagina. It is valid for submission on a claim.
Other codes that can never be billed with N99.2
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at N99.2. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading N99.2 alone.
- N89.5Stricture and atresia of vagina
Risk adjustment
N99.2 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.
How N99.2 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 N99.2.
