R82 is a non-billable ICD-10-CM category code for other and unspecified abnormal findings in urine, so it cannot be submitted on claims. Use a more specific code from this category instead, such as R82.0, R82.1, R82.2, and R82.3. As a symptom code, it should not be used as a principal diagnosis once a related definitive diagnosis has been established.

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 R82Overview

Is R82 (Other and unspecified abnormal findings in urine) a billable code?

No. This is a category header that groups the codes for other and unspecified abnormal findings in urine, and headers cannot be submitted on claims. Claims for other and unspecified abnormal findings in urine need a more specific code from this category, such as R82.0, R82.1, and R82.2.

Can R82 be a principal diagnosis?

Use it with care. This is a symptom code, so once a definitive diagnosis explaining the other and unspecified abnormal findings in urine is established, that condition takes the principal position instead.
