N97Female infertility

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

N97 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for female infertility. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.

Excludes2 — not included here, but may coexist

The excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient can have both. You may code both.

  • female infertility associated with:
  • hypopituitarism (E23.0)
  • Stein-Leventhal syndrome (E28.2)
  • incompetence of cervix uteri (N88.3)

Includes

Conditions this code covers.

  • inability to achieve a pregnancy
  • sterility, female NOS

Other codes that can never be billed with N97

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at N97. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading N97 alone.

  • Z98.5Sterilization status

Risk adjustment

N97 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.

Code to one of these instead N97

5 child codes. Green means billable.
