About the R87 Code Range
The ICD-10 codes in the R87 section are used to document a range of abnormal findings in specimens from female genital organs. These codes capture varying abnormal lab results—from enzyme and hormone levels to abnormal cytology and microbiological findings—without specifying a definitive diagnosis.
This section includes specific codes for abnormal enzyme (R87.0), hormone (R87.1), and microbiological findings (R87.5), as well as cytological abnormalities detected in cervical (e.g., R87.610 for ASC-US) and vaginal specimens (e.g., R87.620 for vaginal atypical squamous cells). Common terms like “abnormal cervical Papanicolaou smear”, “atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC-US)”, and “high risk human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA test positive” correspond to precise ICD-10 codes such as R87.610 and R87.810. These codes enable medical coders and healthcare providers to accurately classify abnormal laboratory results related to female reproductive health when a specific diagnosis has not yet been established.
