R93

Abnormal findings on diagnostic imaging of other body structures

Not billableICD-10-CM diagnosis code.

This code exists but cannot be submitted on its own. It groups the more specific codes beneath it.

A category header for its whole life, FY2016 onwards. It has never been valid for submission on its own.

Submit one of these 10 more specific codes instead:

  • R93.0 Abnormal findings on diagnostic imaging of skull and head, not elsewhere classified
  • R93.1 Abnormal findings on diagnostic imaging of heart and coronary circulation
  • R93.2 Abnormal findings on diagnostic imaging of liver and biliary tract
  • R93.3 Abnormal findings on diagnostic imaging of other parts of digestive tract
  • R93.4 Abnormal findings on diagnostic imaging of urinary organs (also a header)
  • R93.5 Abnormal findings on diagnostic imaging of other abdominal regions, including retroperitoneum
  • R93.6 Abnormal findings on diagnostic imaging of limbs
  • R93.7 Abnormal findings on diagnostic imaging of other parts of musculoskeletal system
  • R93.8 Abnormal findings on diagnostic imaging of other specified body structures (also a header)
  • R93.9 Diagnostic imaging inconclusive due to excess body fat of patient

What has happened to this code

Every change the publisher made, from 2012 to now. Entries marked draft are from the pre-implementation releases: ICD-10 took effect on 1 October 2015, so nothing before FY2016 was ever valid on a claim.

Official coding rules

Published by CDC for FY2027. A rule attached to a category binds every code beneath it, so the rules inherited from this code's ancestors are shown with the code they come from.

Inherited from the R90-R94 section Abnormal findings on diagnostic imaging and in function studies, without diagnosis (R90-R94)
