N39Other disorders of urinary system

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

N39 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for other disorders of urinary system. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.

Excludes2 — not included here, but may coexist

The excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient can have both. You may code both.

  • hematuria NOS (R31.-)
  • recurrent or persistent hematuria (N02.-)
  • recurrent or persistent hematuria with specified morphological lesion (N02.-)
  • proteinuria NOS (R80.-)

Other codes that can never be billed with N39

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at N39. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading N39 alone.

  • N15.9Renal tubulo-interstitial disease, unspecified
  • N39.3Stress incontinence (female) (male)
  • N39.41Urge incontinence
  • R39.81Functional urinary incontinence
  • R39.15Urgency of urination
  • R32Unspecified urinary incontinence

Risk adjustment

N39 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.

The condition this code belongs to

Every code for the condition on one page, which one applies when, and the mistake coders make with it.

Code history

N39 has not changed since FY2024 — no addition, revision or deletion across the three most recent ICD-10-CM releases.
