Is R60 a billable ICD-10-CM code?

No. R60 is a non-billable header code. Code to a higher level of specificity using one of its child codes.

Where does R60 sit in the tabular list?

Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified (R00-R99), in the block General symptoms and signs (R50-R69).

What cannot be coded together with R60?

R60 carries an Excludes1 note, which means the conditions it lists can never be coded together with it on the same encounter.

R60 — Edema, not elsewhere classified

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

R60 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for edema, not elsewhere classified. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.

Excludes1 — never code together

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

angioneurotic edema (T78.3)
ascites (R18.-)
cerebral edema (G93.6)
cerebral edema due to birth injury (P11.0)
edema of larynx (J38.4)
edema of nasopharynx (J39.2)
edema of pharynx (J39.2)
gestational edema (O12.0-)
hereditary edema (Q82.0)
hydrops fetalis NOS (P83.2)
hydrothorax (J94.8)
newborn edema (P83.3)
pulmonary edema (J81.-)

Other codes that can never be billed with R60

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at R60. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading R60 alone.

R22Localized swelling, mass and lump of skin and subcutaneous tissue
E87.7Fluid overload

Risk adjustment

R60 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.

Code to one of these instead R60

3 child codes. Green means billable.
