What is the ICD-10 code for neurogenic bladder?

The ICD-10 code for neurogenic bladder varies by type: N31.0 for uninhibited, N31.1 for reflex, and N31.2 for flaccid neuropathic bladder.

How do you code neurogenic bladder with spinal cord injury?

Code the spinal cord injury first (e.g., G82.21), followed by the specific neurogenic bladder type (e.g., N31.1 for reflex bladder).

Compare key differences between these codes to ensure accurate selection

Code	Description	When to Use	Key Documentation
N31.0	Uninhibited neuropathic bladder, not elsewhere classified	Use when documentation specifies uninhibited bladder contractions, often post-stroke or Parkinson’s.	Urodynamic study showing uninhibited bladder contractions
N31.1	Reflex neuropathic bladder	Use when reflex bladder dysfunction is due to spinal cord injury above T10.	EMG showing hyperreflexic detrusor contractions

Documentation & Coding Risks

Avoid these common issues when documenting Neurogenic Bladder.

Vague documentation of bladder dysfunction

Impact

Clinical: May lead to inappropriate treatment, Regulatory: Increased risk of audit issues, Financial: Potential for reduced reimbursement

Mitigation

Use specific clinical terms, Document diagnostic test results

Using unspecified codes when specifics are available

Impact

Reimbursement: Potential lower reimbursement due to unspecified coding, Compliance: Risk of audit failure for lack of specificity, Data Quality: Decreased accuracy in clinical data

Mitigation

Query for specific type of neurogenic bladder

Use of unspecified codes

Impact

High risk of audit if unspecified codes are used without justification

Mitigation

Ensure documentation specifies the type of neurogenic bladder
