R30 is a non-billable ICD-10-CM category code for pain associated with micturition, so it cannot be submitted on claims.

Pain

Pain is a signal in your nervous system that something may be wrong. It is an unpleasant feeling, such as a prick, tingle, sting, burn, or ache. Each person feels pain differently, even if the reason for the pain is the same. Pain may be sharp or dull. It may be mild or severe. Pain may come and go, or it may be constant.

Questions About R30Overview

Is R30 (Pain associated with micturition) a billable code?

No. This is a category header that groups the codes for pain associated with micturition, and headers cannot be submitted on claims. Claims for pain associated with micturition need a more specific code from this category, such as R30.0, R30.1, and R30.9.

Can R30 be a principal diagnosis?

Use it with care. This is a symptom code, so once a definitive diagnosis explaining the pain associated with micturition is established, that condition takes the principal position instead.
