Is R82 a billable ICD-10-CM code?

No. R82 is a non-billable header code. Code to a higher level of specificity using one of its child codes.

Where does R82 sit in the tabular list?

Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified (R00-R99), in the block Abnormal findings on examination of urine, without diagnosis (R80-R82).

R82 — Other and unspecified abnormal findings in urine

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

R82 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for other and unspecified abnormal findings in urine. 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 (R31.-)

Use additional code

Add a secondary code to capture the detail described below.

code to identify any retained foreign body, if applicable (Z18.-)

Includes

Conditions this code covers.

chromoabnormalities in urine

Other codes that can never be billed with R82

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at R82. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading R82 alone.

N39.0Urinary tract infection, site not specified
R82.91Other chromoabnormalities of urine
D59.5Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria [Marchiafava-Micheli]
D59.6Hemoglobinuria due to hemolysis from other external causes

Risk adjustment

R82 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 R82

10 child codes. Green means billable.
