Check Mode of Radiation for Erectile Dysfunction
Question: A patient with prostate cancer was diagnosed erectile dysfunction following prostate ablation. Can we submit code N52.35 for this diagnosis?
Alabama Subscriber
Answer: Code N52.35 (Erectile dysfunction following radiation therapy) is for erectile dysfunction after radiotherapy. This is not a specific code for prostate ablation. For erectile dysfunction following prostate ablation, you submit ICD-10-CM code N52.37 (Erectile dysfunction following prostate ablative therapy).
Tip: ICD-10-CM offers codes for erectile dysfunction by specific modes of radiotherapy. For erectile dysfunction following interstitial seed therapy, you submit code N52.36 (Erectile dysfunction following interstitial seed therapy).
