R93.4

Abnormal findings on diagnostic imaging of urinary organs

Not billableICD-10-CM diagnosis code.

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

Billable FY2016 only, and a category header from FY2017.

Submit one of these 3 more specific codes instead:

  • R93.41 Abnormal radiologic findings on diagnostic imaging of renal pelvis, ureter, or bladder
  • R93.42 Abnormal radiologic findings on diagnostic imaging of kidney (also a header)
  • R93.49 Abnormal radiologic findings on diagnostic imaging of other urinary organs

Use instead:

  • R93.421 Abnormal radiologic findings on diagnostic imaging of right kidney stated for FY2016
  • R93.422 Abnormal radiologic findings on diagnostic imaging of left kidney stated for FY2016
  • R93.429 Abnormal radiologic findings on diagnostic imaging of unspecified kidney stated for FY2016

What has happened to this code

Every change the publisher made, from 2007 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.

  1. FY2007 Added to the draft code set draft Abnormal findings on diagnostic imaging of urinary organs
  2. FY2017 Stopped being billable

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)
