Billable / specific codeICD-10-CM

Excludes2 — not included here, but may coexist

nocturnal polyuria (R35.81)

Excludes1 inherited from the categories above N39.44

enuresis NOS (R32)

urinary incontinence NOS (R32)
urinary incontinence of nonorganic origin (F98.0)

Excludes2 inherited from the categories above N39.44

Risk adjustment

N39.44 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.

Medicare coverage

N39.44 is named in 23 Medicare coverage policies — 23 listing it as supporting medical necessity. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.
