We are having difficulty in locating the correct ICD-9 code to use for Pelvic Floor Dysfunction. Does anyone know what the correct code would be?

Have you looked at 739.5?

I don't think that will work, as there is no mention of a lesion. I advised the physician to code for the problem the PFD was causing, as there doesn't seem to be a code to indicate a just the pelvic floor dysfunction. Do you agree? Thanks for responding, I appreciate your taking the time.

have you tried disorder of or disease? ICD9 convention generally directs to these areas for coding when you cannot locate the specific diagnosis.
