N36.43
BillableCombined hypermobility of urethra and intrinsic sphincter deficiency
This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
A condition where the urethra is overly flexible and the muscle that controls urine flow is weak, leading to urinary leakage.
Coding Tips
- •This code combines two separate urethral problems; ensure documentation clearly describes both hypermobility and sphincter deficiency
- •Commonly associated with stress incontinence; verify if stress incontinence is also documented separately to avoid duplicate coding
