Code Classification

  • Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified
    (R00–R99)
    • Abnormal findings on diagnostic imaging and in function studies, without diagnosis
      (R90-R94)
      • Abnormal findings on diagnostic imaging of other body structures
        (R93)

R93.4 is a non-specific and non-billable diagnosis code code, consider using a code with a higher level of specificity for a diagnosis of abnormal findings on diagnostic imaging of urinary organs. The code is not specific and is NOT valid for the year 2024 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions. Category or Header define the heading of a category of codes that may be further subdivided by the use of 4th, 5th, 6th or 7th characters.

According to ICD-10-CM guidelines this code should not to be used as a principal diagnosis code when a related definitive diagnosis has been established.

Specific Coding Applicable to Abnormal findings on diagnostic imaging of urinary organs

Non-specific codes like R93.4 require more digits to indicate the appropriate level of specificity. Consider using any of the following ICD-10-CM codes with a higher level of specificity when coding for abnormal findings on diagnostic imaging of urinary organs:

  • Use R93.41 for Abnormal radiologic findings on diagnostic imaging of renal pelvis, ureter, or bladder - BILLABLE CODE

  • R93.42 for Abnormal radiologic findings on diagnostic imaging of kidney - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use R93.421 for Abnormal radiologic findings on diagnostic imaging of right kidney - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use R93.422 for Abnormal radiologic findings on diagnostic imaging of left kidney - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use R93.429 for Abnormal radiologic findings on diagnostic imaging of unspecified kidney - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use R93.49 for Abnormal radiologic findings on diagnostic imaging of other urinary organs - BILLABLE CODE

Clinical Classification

Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries

The following annotation back-references are applicable to this diagnosis code. The Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries is a list of ICD-10-CM codes, organized "head to toe" into chapters and sections with coding notes and guidance for inclusions, exclusions, descriptions and more.


Type 2 Excludes

Type 2 Excludes
A type 2 excludes note represents "Not included here". An excludes2 note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition represented by the code, but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When an Excludes2 note appears under a code, it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together, when appropriate.
  • hypertrophy of kidney N28.81

Footnotes

[1] Not chronic - A diagnosis code that does not fit the criteria for chronic condition (duration, ongoing medical treatment, and limitations) is considered not chronic. Some codes designated as not chronic are acute conditions. Other diagnosis codes that indicate a possible chronic condition, but for which the duration of the illness is not specified in the code description (i.e., we do not know the condition has lasted 12 months or longer) also are considered not chronic.
