What This Code Means

N80.561 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for superficial endometriosis of the small intestine. Endometrial tissue grows in the outer layers of the small intestine, causing abdominal pain and potential malabsorption issues. N80.561 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for diseases of the genitourinary system (n00-n99), within the section covering noninflammatory disorders of female genital tract (n80-n98).

N80.561 is a billable ICD-10-CM code but does not map to a payment HCC under the CMS-HCC V28, V24, ESRD, or RxHCC risk adjustment models. It can be reported on Medicare Advantage encounter data submissions but it does not contribute to a beneficiary's RAF score and therefore does not affect risk-adjusted payments to the plan.

Confirm the location is the small intestine (duodenum, jejunum, or ileum) rather than the colon.

HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for N80.561 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.

Coding Tips

  • Confirm the location is the small intestine (duodenum, jejunum, or ileum) rather than the colon
  • Document the depth as superficial to differentiate from deep endometriosis (N80.562)
