ICD-10 Coding for Abnormal Findings on Diagnostic Imaging(R93.8, R93.89)
This diagnosis requires careful attention to:
Abnormal findings on [type of imaging] of [body part]. Clinical significance unknown at this time.
Incidental finding on [type of imaging] of [body part]. Follow-up or additional testing recommended.
No, once a diagnosis is confirmed, the specific code for that diagnosis should be used.
These codes should be used when abnormal findings are discovered on imaging studies, but a definitive diagnosis has not yet been made.
