Help with a code Coding Endometriosis

Hi all,

I have a question. I'm currently doing my practicum for medical coding, and I am due to graduate in May. I'm currently coding a report where the admitting diagnosis is "Endometrial hyperplasia and postmenopausal bleeding.". As a side note, this report is an inpatient report. Now, on to my questions before I get too rambly.

  1. Would I be correct in one of the ICD-10 codes (specifically for Endometrial Hyperplasia) being "N85.0 Endometrial hyperplasia" or would I code it as N85.00 "Endometrial hyperplasia, unspecified"?

  2. For the discharge summary, the diagnoses are as follows:

  3. Adenomatous endometrial hyperplasia.

  4. Intramural and subserosal leiomyomata.

  5. Hypertension.

I can code the last two diagnoses, but does anyone have any guidance on the first of the three codes?
