R34

R34 — Anuria and oliguria

Billable / specific codeICD-10-CM

R34 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for anuria and oliguria. It is valid for submission on a claim.

Excludes1 — never code together

These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.

anuria and oliguria complicating abortion or ectopic or molar pregnancy (O00-O07, O08.4)
anuria and oliguria complicating pregnancy (O26.83-)
anuria and oliguria complicating the puerperium (O90.49)

Other codes that can never be billed with R34

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at R34. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading R34 alone.

O90.4Postpartum acute kidney failure

Risk adjustment

R34 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

R34 is named in 4 Medicare coverage policies — 4 listing it as supporting medical necessity. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.
