    ICD-10-CM Code For Disorders Of Prepuce: Group Overview

    The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) code group N47 includes diagnoses affecting the prepuce such as phimosis, paraphimosis, balanoposthitis, and other inflammatory or traumatic conditions of the foreskin. These ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes are used to document clinical encounters that capture lesion location, presence of infection or inflammation, and any related complications or interventions such as manual reduction or circumcision. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-CM N47 group supports proper claim adjudication and complete clinical documentation and appropriate reimbursement.

    ICD-10-CM N47: Disorders Of Prepuce Overview

    The ICD-10-CM N47 group includes diagnoses affecting the prepuce (foreskin) of the penis, such as phimosis, paraphimosis, and other inflammatory or traumatic conditions of the prepuce. These conditions target the male genital system and can affect urinary function, sexual health, and local tissue integrity. Accurate coding is important for reimbursement because it links clinical documentation to appropriate procedure and treatment claims.

    When to Use

    Assign a code from this group when a patient presents with symptoms or findings localized to the prepuce, such as inability to retract the foreskin, painful constriction, swelling, or signs of local infection. Use these codes to reflect documented interventions or complications related to the prepuce, such as manual reduction, debridement, or circumcision when linked to the diagnosis.

    Typical Clinical Scenarios

    • An adult male presents to the emergency department with severe penile pain and swelling after forcibly retracting an adhesed foreskin; exam shows a tight, nonretractile prepuce with local inflammation and possible paraphimosis. He requires urgent manual reduction or surgical intervention; a diagnosis from this group is assigned for the acute foreskin complication. Typical codes: N47.2, N47.4
    • A teenage boy is seen in primary care for persistent difficulty retracting the foreskin with recurrent balanopreputial irritation and minor bleeding during attempted hygiene over several months; conservative measures have failed and circumcision is being discussed. A chronic preputial disorder code is used to document the ongoing phimosis and scarring. Typical codes: N47.1, N47.0
    • An adult with poorly controlled diabetes presents with purulent discharge, foul odor, and ulceration of the prepuce and glans; cultures grow bacteria and the patient has systemic symptoms. The clinician documents an infectious/inflammatory disorder of the prepuce as a comorbidity requiring targeted antimicrobial therapy and possible surgical debridement. Typical codes: N47.3, N47.5
