What is the ICD-10 code for submucous leiomyoma?

The ICD-10 code for submucous leiomyoma is D25.0, used when the fibroid distorts the endometrial cavity and causes symptoms like menorrhagia.

How do you code multiple uterine fibroids?

Use multiple ICD-10 codes based on fibroid location: D25.0 for submucous, D25.1 for intramural, and D25.2 for subserosal fibroids.

Compare key differences between these codes to ensure accurate selection

Code	Description	When to Use	Key Documentation
D25.0	Submucous leiomyoma of uterus	Use when the fibroid is submucosal and causing symptoms like menorrhagia.	Fibroid distorting endometrial cavity with menorrhagia Submucosal fibroid visualized on hysteroscopy
D25.1	Intramural leiomyoma of uterus	Use when the fibroid is intramural and causing symptoms like bulk symptoms.	Fibroid causing bulk symptoms without cavity distortion Intramural fibroid measuring ≥5 cm
D25.2	Subserosal leiomyoma of uterus	Use when the fibroid is subserosal and causing symptoms like torsion pain.	Pedunculated fibroid causing torsion pain Subserosal fibroid on ultrasound with free pelvic fluid
D25.9	Leiomyoma of uterus, unspecified	Use when the fibroid location is unspecified and no symptoms are present.	Incidental finding on imaging without symptoms Asymptomatic uterine leiomyoma noted on CT

Documentation & Coding Risks

Avoid these common issues when documenting Leiomyoma.

Mismatched fibroid location between op report and coding

Impact

Clinical: Inaccurate clinical data, Regulatory: Non-compliance with coding standards, Financial: Potential claim denials

Mitigation

Pre-op imaging review, Intraoperative documentation template

Using D25.9 when operative report specifies location

Impact

Reimbursement: Potential claim denial or reduced payment, Compliance: Non-compliance with coding guidelines, Data Quality: Inaccurate data representation

Mitigation

Amend to specific location code with surgeon's addendum

Unspecified fibroid location coding

Impact

High audit risk if D25.9 is used with surgical procedures

Mitigation

Use specific location codes when possible
