Health Organization for Pudendal Education

Is there a CPT code or dignosis code for pudendal entrapment or pudendal nueralgia?

Thanks,
Emily B.

Emily, ICD 9 codes are used for a diagnosis. I googled the ICD 9 code for pudendal neurlagia and I'm not finding one. It looks like typically they use a related code such as the code for vulvodynia or prostadynia. Here are some possible codes:


602.8 Prostatodynia
601.1 Prostatitis-chronic
789.09 Pelvic pain-male
595.1 Interstitial cystitis
788.41 Frequency/uregencyurinary
604.90 Epididymitis/orchitis
625.7 Female genital disorders

For a procedure you would need the CPT code and that might vary with the individual doctor as to what CPT code they use.

I know in my case they have used the ICD 9 code for pelvic pain 625.9. I have also seen neuralgia neuritis and radiculopathy unspecified 729.2. Some dr.'s use both in combination. There are specific does for neuropathies of the lower limb but nothing that I have seen specific for pudendal.

My surgical pathology report states:
Clinical Indication: Pudendal nerve entrapment syndrome (ICD9 : 355.8)

My insurance has been most responsive to the 729.2 code specified below. My dr also includes a muscle spasm code (which i don't recall off hand) due to the severe muscular involvement I also have.
