CMSSource: CMS FY 2026 ICD-10-CM dataset · Effective Oct 1, 2025 – Sep 30, 2026

R80.2 is a billable ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for orthostatic proteinuria, unspecified. It is valid on HIPAA claims for fiscal year 2026 (October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026) and groups to MS-DRG 698 through 700. As a symptom code, it should not be used as a principal diagnosis once a related definitive diagnosis has been established. Coders also document this condition as asymptomatic proteinuria. In AHRQ's Clinical Classifications Software (CCSR), this diagnosis falls under Proteinuria.

Patient EducationClinical

Urine and Urination

Your kidneys make urine by filtering wastes and extra water from your blood. The waste is called urea. Your blood carries it to the kidneys. From the kidneys, urine travels down two thin tubes called ureters to the bladder. The bladder stores urine until you are ready to urinate.

Questions About R80.2Overview

Is R80.2 (Proteinuria) a billable code?

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

What MS-DRG does R80.2 group to?

When orthostatic proteinuria, unspecified is the principal diagnosis on an inpatient stay, it groups to MS-DRG 698, 699, 700, with relative weights from 0.6899 to 1.6544 depending on complications. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.

Can R80.2 be a principal diagnosis?

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

What is the ICD-9 equivalent of R80.2?

Under the General Equivalence Mappings, orthostatic proteinuria, unspecified converts to ICD-9-CM 593.6 (postural proteinuria). The mapping is approximate, so confirm the match fits the documentation.

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.
