R93.811 is a billable ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for abnormal radiologic findings on diagnostic imaging of right testicle. It is valid on HIPAA claims for fiscal year 2027 (October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027) and groups to MS-DRG 729 through 730. 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 imaging of right testis abnormal. In AHRQ's Clinical Classifications Software (CCSR), this diagnosis falls under Abnormal findings without diagnosis.

  • abnormal findings on antenatal screening of mother (O28.-)
  • diagnostic abnormal findings classified elsewhere - see Alphabetical Index

Excludes2

Not included here: the excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient may have both, so both codes may be reported.

From Chapter 18 (R00-R99) Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified applies to 774 codes
  • abnormal findings on antenatal screening of mother (O28.-)
  • certain conditions originating in the perinatal period (P04-P96)
  • signs and symptoms classified in the body system chapters
  • signs and symptoms of breast (N63, N64.5)

Notes

General instructions on how these codes are used.

From Chapter 18 (R00-R99) Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified applies to 774 codes
  • This chapter includes symptoms, signs, abnormal results of clinical or other investigative procedures, and ill-defined conditions regarding which no diagnosis classifiable elsewhere is recorded.
  • Signs and symptoms that point rather definitely to a given diagnosis have been assigned to a category in other chapters of the classification. In general, categories in this chapter include the less well-defined conditions and symptoms that, without the necessary study of the case to establish a final diagnosis, point perhaps equally to two or more diseases or to two or more systems of the body. Practically all categories in the chapter could be designated 'not otherwise specified', 'unknown etiology' or 'transient'. The Alphabetical Index should be consulted to determine which symptoms and signs are to be allocated here and which to other chapters. The residual subcategories, numbered .8, are generally provided for other relevant symptoms that cannot be allocated elsewhere in the classification.
  • The conditions and signs or symptoms included in categories R00-R94 consist of:
  • (a) cases for which no more specific diagnosis can be made even after all the facts bearing on the case have been investigated;
  • (b) signs or symptoms existing at the time of initial encounter that proved to be transient and whose causes could not be determined;
  • (c) provisional diagnosis in a patient who failed to return for further investigation or care;
  • (d) cases referred elsewhere for investigation or treatment before the diagnosis was made;
  • (e) cases in which a more precise diagnosis was not available for any other reason;
  • (f) certain symptoms, for which supplementary information is provided, that represent important problems in medical care in their own right.

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 R93.811Overview

What is the ICD-10 code for abnormal radiologic findings on diagnostic imaging of right testicle?

The ICD-10-CM code for abnormal radiologic findings on diagnostic imaging of right testicle is R93.811 (sometimes written as R93811). It is billable on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

Is R93.811 (Abnormal radiologic findings on diagnostic imaging of testis) a billable code?

Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report abnormal radiologic findings on diagnostic imaging of right testicle on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

What MS-DRG does R93.811 group to?

When abnormal radiologic findings on diagnostic imaging of right testicle is the principal diagnosis on an inpatient stay, it groups to MS-DRG 729, 730, with relative weights from 0.6595 to 1.0553 depending on complications. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.

Can R93.811 be a principal diagnosis?

Use it with care. This is a symptom code, so once a definitive diagnosis explaining the abnormal radiologic findings on diagnostic imaging of right testicle is established, that condition takes the principal position instead.

Can R93.811 be reported with a code from O28?

Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note at block R90-R94, which applies to R93.811, lists "abnormal findings on antenatal screening of mother (O28.-)". An Excludes1 note means the excluded code is never reported together with this one; the only exception is when the two conditions are unrelated to each other (Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
