Otherwise, hematuria complicating a traumatic catheterization would be coded to T84.89XA and R31.9. — Karen Cooper, RHIT, is an IQC reviewer at Navigant. Question: How do you code diabetes mellitus with hyponatremia? Marcy Blitch, RHIA, CCS, CIC AHIMA-approved ICD-10 trainer Education Manager, Coding Services Response:
2018/2019 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code R31.9. Hematuria, unspecified. 2016 2017 2018 2019 Billable/Specific Code. R31.9 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
How would you code hematuria due to a traumatic Foley catheter insertion? Coding Clinic, 1st Quarter 2014, pages 12–13, says that this would be coded to a complication, as it was due to the procedure, if "traumatic Foley catheterization" is documented.
Self-induced urethral injury due to traumatic removal of a urinary catheter Publication Date: December 2017 ICD 10 AM Edition: Tenth edition Query Number: 3252
R31.9 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM R31.9 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of R31.9 - other international versions of ICD-10 R31.9 may differ.
ICD-10 code T83. 091A for Other mechanical complication of indwelling urethral catheter, initial encounter is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes .
ICD-10 code R31. 9 for Hematuria, unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
0 for Cardiac catheterization as the cause of abnormal reaction of the patient, or of later complication, without mention of misadventure at the time of the procedure is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Complications of medical and surgical care .
ICD-10 Code for Gross hematuria- R31. 0- Codify by AAPC. Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified. Symptoms and signs involving the genitourinary system.
While in many instances the cause is harmless, blood in urine (hematuria) can indicate a serious disorder. Blood that you can see is called gross hematuria. Urinary blood that's visible only under a microscope (microscopic hematuria) is found when your doctor tests your urine.
9: Fever, unspecified.
5 for documentation of infection due to suprapubic catheter (SPC)/cystostomy. The correct code to assign is N99. 52 Infection of stoma of urinary tract, following the Index entry Complication(s) (from) (of)/cystostomy (catheter) (stoma) (tube) NEC/infection.
Chronic indwelling catheters are used to manage urinary retention, especially in the presence of urethral obstruction, and to facilitate healing of incontinence-related skin breakdown. These indwelling foreign bodies become coated and sometimes obstructed by biofilm laden with bacteria and struvite crystals.
ICD-10-PCS 0T9C70Z converts approximately to: 2015 ICD-9-CM Procedure 57.94 Insertion of indwelling urinary catheter.
Also known as frank or gross hematuria, macroscopic hematuria involves visible discoloration of the urine as a result of a greater concentration of blood in the urine. The color of the urine is usually described as pink, red, or dark brown.
Gross hematuria is when a person can see the blood in his or her urine, and microscopic hematuria is when a person cannot see the blood in his or her urine, yet a health care professional can see it under a microscope.
one of the most common causes of haematuria is urinary tract infection, which can be investigated with a urine microscopy, culture and sensitivity (mc&s). ureteric and renal stones are another common cause, but these typically present with pain and microscopic haematuria.
Use secondary code (s) from Chapter 20, External causes of morbidity, to indicate cause of injury. Codes within the T section that include the external cause do not require an additional external cause code. Type 1 Excludes.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM T83.518 became effective on October 1, 2021.

Per the Official Coding Guidelines for ICD-10-CM, the term "with" means "associated with" or "due to,“ when it appears in a code title, the Alphabetic Index, or an instructional note in the Tabular List.
ICD-10-CM is a statistical classification, per se, it is not a diagnosis. Some ICD-10-CM codes include multiple different clinical diagnoses and it can be of clinical importance to convey these diagnoses specifically in the record. Also some diagnoses require more than one ICD-10-CM code to fully convey the patient's condition. It is the provider's responsibility to provide clear and legible documentation of a diagnosis, which is then translated to a code for external reporting purposes.
In general, clinical information and information on documentation best practices published in Coding Clinic were not unique to ICD-9-CM, and remain applicable for ICD-10-CM with some caveats. For example, Coding Clinicmay still be useful to understand clinical clues when applying the guideline regarding not coding separately signs or symptoms that are integral to a condition. Users may continue to use that information, as clues—not clinical criteria.
There are no new/revised ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes, or changes to the ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting for fiscal year (FY) 2016, because of the partial code set freeze in preparation of ICD-10 implementation. The following link is to the current ICD-10-CM guidelines:
Avoid coding unspecified UTI (N39.0) when specific site infection is mentioned. For example if both cystitis and UTI are mentioned it is not necessary to code UTI, instead code only cystitis. Urosepsis – This does not lead to any code in the alphabetic index.
Infection can happen in any part of the urinary tract – kidney, ureter, bladder or urethra. It is called as Cystitis, Urethritis and Pyelonephritis based on the site.
Urethritis. It is not necessary to mention the infectious agent when using ICD N39.0. If the infectious organism is mentioned, place the UTI code primary and organism secondary. Site specified infection should be coded to the particular site. For example, Infection to bladder to be coded as cystitis, infection to urethra to urethritis.
