Questions About R82.991Overview
Is R82.991 (Other abnormal findings in urine) a billable code?
Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report hypocitraturia on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026.
What MS-DRG does R82.991 group to?
When hypocitraturia is the principal diagnosis on an inpatient stay, it groups to MS-DRG 695, 696, with relative weights from 0.6890 to 1.1438 depending on complications. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.
Can R82.991 be a principal diagnosis?
Use it with care. This is a symptom code, so once a definitive diagnosis explaining the hypocitraturia is established, that condition takes the principal position instead.
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.
