R69 - Illness, unspecified
| ICD-10: | R69 |
| Short Description: | Illness, unspecified |
| Long Description: | Illness, unspecified |
| Status: | Valid for Submission |
| Version: | ICD-10-CM 2023 |
| Code Classification: |
R69 is a billable ICD-10 code used to specify a medical diagnosis of illness, unspecified. The code is valid during the fiscal year 2023 from October 01, 2022 through September 30, 2023 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.
Unspecified diagnosis codes like R69 are acceptable when clinical information is unknown or not available about a particular condition. Although a more specific code is preferable, unspecified codes should be used when such codes most accurately reflect what is known about a patient's condition. Specific diagnosis codes should not be used if not supported by the patient's medical record.
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.

Clinical Information
- Acute Disease-. disease having a short and relatively severe course.
- Chronic Disease Indicators-. a set of surveillance indicators of disease developed by consensus among the cdc, the council of state and territorial epidemiologists, and the national association of chronic disease directors. it enables public health professionals and policymakers to retrieve uniformly defined state and selected metropolitan-level data for chronic diseases and risk factors that impact public health.(https://www.cdc.gov/socialdeterminants/data/index.htm)
- Hospitals, Chronic Disease-. hospitals which provide care to patients with long-term illnesses.
- Noncommunicable Diseases-. diseases which are typically non-infectious in origin and do not transmit from an affected individual to others. the four main types of noncommunicable diseases are cardiovascular diseases (e.g., heart attacks and stroke), cancer, chronic respiratory diseases (e.g., chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma) and diabetes mellitus.
- Anemia due to Chronic Disorder|Anemia of Chronic Disease|Anemia of Chronic Illness|Anemia of Chronic Inflammation-. anemia due to a disorder that is persistent or long-standing in nature.
- Chronic Disease-. a disease condition that persists over a significant span of time.
- Family History of Chronic Disease|Other chronic diseases-. a history of a first-degree relative that has had a chronic disease.
- Terminal Disease|Terminal Illness|terminal disease-. an illness that has a prognosis of death.
- Terminal Illness-. an illness that has a prognosis of death.
