Uninhibited neuropathic bladder, not elsewhere classified

This code represents a neurogenic bladder dysfunction characterized by involuntary bladder contractions leading to urgency, frequency, and incontinence, without a clear anatomical obstruction. It signifies a loss of central nervous system control over bladder emptying, resulting in an overactive detrusor muscle.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates uninhibited detrusor activity due to a neurological condition, such as spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, or stroke, where the specific neurological cause is not separately coded as part of the bladder condition. This code is appropriate when the bladder dysfunction is the primary focus of the encounter and the underlying neurological condition is either unknown or coded elsewhere.

• Ensure documentation specifies "uninhibited" or "overactive" detrusor activity due to a neurological etiology.
• Do not use this code if a more specific neurogenic bladder type (e.g., reflex neurogenic bladder, flaccid neurogenic bladder) is documented.
• Code the underlying neurological condition first, if known and actively managed, followed by this code.
