    ICD-10-CM Code For Inflammatory Disease Of Uterus Except Cervix: Group Overview

    The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) code group N71 includes acute and chronic inflammatory diseases of the uterus excluding the cervix, such as endometritis and other uterine inflammations related to infection or inflammatory processes. These ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes are used to document clinical scenarios involving uterine inflammation, capturing disease acuity, extent of organ involvement, and treatment complexity. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-CM N71 group supports proper claim adjudication and complete clinical documentation for appropriate reimbursement.

    ICD-10-CM N71: Inflammatory Disease Of Uterus, Except Cervix Overview

    This group includes inflammatory conditions that primarily affect the uterine body but exclude infections or inflammation localized to the cervix. These diagnoses target the female reproductive system and commonly arise from ascending infection, retained products, or pelvic inflammatory disease extension. Accurate coding matters for proper claim adjudication and to reflect clinical severity and resource use.

    When to Use

    Assign a code from this group when documentation indicates inflammation of the uterus (endometrium or uterine body) without cervical involvement and specifies acuity or chronicity. Use these codes to capture cases related to infection, retained products, or extension of pelvic inflammatory disease when the uterine body is the primary site.

    Typical Clinical Scenarios

    • A reproductive-age woman presents to urgent care with sudden onset lower abdominal pain, high fever, purulent vaginal discharge, and dyspareunia after unprotected intercourse. Pelvic examination reveals uterine tenderness and cervical motion tenderness; pelvic ultrasound excludes tubo-ovarian abscess. An acute endometritis or uterine infection is suspected and a code from this group is assigned for the acute inflammatory process. Typical codes: N71.0, N71.9
    • A patient with a history of multiple uterine instrumentation procedures (recent dilation and curettage) reports subacute pelvic pain, intermittent low-grade fever, and abnormal post-procedure bleeding several weeks later. Clinical evaluation and endometrial sampling demonstrate chronic inflammatory changes of the uterine lining, consistent with a chronic endometritis diagnosis and ongoing outpatient management. Typical codes: N71.1, N71.9
    • An elderly woman with poorly controlled diabetes is hospitalized for sepsis and is found on evaluation to have worsening pelvic pain and endometrial inflammation complicating her systemic infection. The uterine inflammation is documented as part of her comorbid infectious process and coded to capture the inflammatory uterine condition contributing to her clinical course. Typical codes: N71.9, N71.1
