R39 includes conditions such as urinary frequency, urgency, dysuria, and other unspecified symptoms related to the genitourinary system that do not have a clear diagnosis.
R39 codes should be used when a patient presents with genitourinary symptoms that are significant but do not fit into a more specific diagnosis, particularly when further evaluation is needed.
Documentation should include a detailed account of the patient's symptoms, any relevant medical history, and the clinician's assessment to justify the use of the R39 code.
