Abnormal radiologic findings on diagnostic imaging of unspecified testicle
ICD-10 R93.819 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of abnormal radiologic findings on diagnostic imaging of unspecified testicle.
R93.819 is used to classify abnormal findings observed on diagnostic imaging of the testicle that do not fall under a more specific diagnosis. These findings may include but are not limited to masses, calcifications, or other anomalies detected through imaging modalities such as ultrasound, CT, or MRI. The clinical significance of these findings can vary widely, ranging from benign conditions like epididymal cysts to more serious concerns such as testicular tumors or torsion. The absence of specific symptoms or signs associated with these findings necessitates careful evaluation and follow-up to determine the underlying cause. Clinicians often rely on additional diagnostic tests and clinical correlation to establish a definitive diagnosis. Accurate coding is essential for appropriate patient management and reimbursement, as well as for tracking epidemiological trends related to testicular health.
Documentation should include detailed imaging findings, clinical history, and any follow-up actions taken.
Patients presenting with unexplained testicular pain or swelling, where imaging reveals abnormal findings.
Ensure that all imaging reports are reviewed and correlated with the patient's clinical presentation.
Acute care documentation must include the reason for imaging, findings, and any immediate interventions.
Acute scrotal pain or trauma cases where imaging is performed to rule out torsion or other urgent conditions.
Timely documentation is critical in emergency settings to support the urgency of the diagnosis.
Used when imaging is performed to evaluate abnormal findings in the testicle.
Document the reason for the ultrasound and the findings.
Urologists may frequently order this procedure for further evaluation.
R93.819 should be used when there are abnormal findings on imaging of the testicle that do not correspond to a more specific diagnosis.
