ICD-10 Code N40.1 Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia with Associate Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms

A person crying about the prstatic pain professional use for this code ICD-10 Code N40.1.

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), additionally known as benign expansion of the prostate (BEP or BPE), is a commonplace non-cancerous condition in growing old guys. The ICD-10 code N40.1 represents benign prostatic hyperplasia with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), inclusive of urinary frequency, urgency, and retention. Proper medical coding using this designation guarantees accurate documentation, powerful treatment, and seamless coverage reimbursement.

What is ICD-10 Code N40.1?

The ICD-10 code N40.1 is used for cases of benign prostatic hyperplasia with urinary obstruction or other lower urinary tract symptoms. These symptoms often include difficulties like notarial, incomplete bladder emptying, and urinary hesitancy. This code is vital for distinguishing BPH cases that require specific attention due to associated urinary complications.

Key Features of N40.1

  • Category: Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)
  • Symptoms Linked: Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS)
  • ICD-9 Transition Code: 600.01
  • Billable: Yes

Symptoms of BPH Associated with ICD-10 Code N40.1

Patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia with urinary retention or other LUTS may experience:

  • Frequent urination, particularly at night (notarial, linked to the benign prostatic hyperplasia with notarial ICD-10 category)
  • Weak urinary stream or post-void dribbling
  • Incomplete bladder emptying (code R39.14 may also be used)
  • Urinary urgency and hesitancy
  • Pain or discomfort during urination

These symptoms can severely disrupt daily life, often leading patients to seek medical care for relief.

Using ICD-10 Code N40.1 Correctly

Adhering to best practices is essential for accurate coding and billing of BPH cases:

  • Document Symptoms Clearly: Comprehensive medical records are critical. Include diagnostic tests and symptoms like urinary retention or notarial.
  • Add Specific Symptom Codes: Complement N40.1 with codes like:
    • R35.0 for urinary frequency
    • R35.1 for notarial
    • R39.14 for incomplete bladder emptying
  • Avoid Coding Errors: Use N40.0 for cases of BPH without LUTS or urinary obstruction.

Related ICD-10 Codes for BPH

Differentiating between benign prostatic hyperplasia ICD-10 codes can ensure precision in the documentation:

  • N40.0: BPH without LUTS
  • N40.2: Nodular prostate without LUTS
  • N41.0: Acute prostatitis
  • N41.1: Chronic prostatitis

For instance, the ICD-10 code for benign prostatic hyperplasia with urinary retention aligns with N40.1, while N40.0 applies to cases where urinary symptoms are absent.
