What This Code Means

N84.3 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for polyp of vulva. A benign growth or polyp that develops on the vulva (external female genitalia). These growths are typically non-cancerous and may cause irritation or bleeding. N84.3 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).

N84.3 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 polyp location is specifically the vulva; if location is unclear, use N84.9.

HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for N84.3 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.

Coding Tips

  • Confirm the polyp location is specifically the vulva; if location is unclear, use N84.9
  • Document whether the polyp was removed or biopsied, as this may affect treatment coding
