R93.8

Abnormal findings on diagnostic imaging of other specified 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.

Billable FY2016 to FY2018, and a category header from FY2019.

Submit one of these 2 more specific codes instead:

  • R93.81 Abnormal radiologic findings on diagnostic imaging of testis (also a header)
  • R93.89 Abnormal findings on diagnostic imaging of other specified body structures

Use instead:

  • R93.811 Abnormal radiologic findings on diagnostic imaging of right testicle stated for FY2018
  • R93.812 Abnormal radiologic findings on diagnostic imaging of left testicle stated for FY2018
  • R93.813 Abnormal radiologic findings on diagnostic imaging of testicles, bilateral stated for FY2018
  • R93.819 Abnormal radiologic findings on diagnostic imaging of unspecified testicle stated for FY2018

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 other specified body structures
  2. FY2019 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)
