R87.62: Abnormal cytological findings in specimens from vagina

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

R87.62 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for abnormal cytological findings in specimens from vagina. 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.
