R82.1 — Myoglobinuria
R82.1 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for myoglobinuria. It is valid for submission on a claim.
Other codes that can never be billed with R82.1
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at R82.1. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading R82.1 alone.
- R82.91Other chromoabnormalities of urine
Risk adjustment
R82.1 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.
How R82.1 is indexed
Coders do not find codes by browsing the tabular list — they look them up in the alphabetic index, under the word the physician wrote. These are the index entries that lead here, so you can see which chart wordings map to R82.1.
