Patient EducationClinical

Testicular Disorders

Testicles, or testes, make male hormones and sperm. They are two egg-shaped organs inside the scrotum, the loose sac of skin behind the penis. It's easy to injure your testicles because they are not protected by bones or muscles. Men and boys should wear athletic supporters when they play sports.

Questions About R36.1Overview

Is R36.1 (Urethral discharge) a billable code?

Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report hematospermia on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026.

When hematospermia is the principal diagnosis on an inpatient stay, it groups to MS-DRG 729, 730, with relative weights from 0.6720 to 1.0587 depending on complications. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.

Can R36.1 be a principal diagnosis?

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

What is the ICD-9 equivalent of R36.1?

Under the General Equivalence Mappings, hematospermia converts to ICD-9-CM 608.82 (hematospermia). The mapping is a direct match.

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.
