ICD Code N95.1

ICD code N95.1 is used to classify and identify conditions related to menopausal and female climacteric states. This code is specifically applied to document the physiological and symptomatic changes that occur in women during the transition to menopause, which may include symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and other related changes. It is an essential code for healthcare providers to use in order to accurately capture and manage the healthcare needs of women experiencing these natural life stages, ensuring appropriate treatment and reimbursement processes within the healthcare revenue cycle.
