About R11

R11 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for nausea and vomiting. It belongs to block R10-R19 (symptoms and signs involving the digestive system and abdomen) and chapter 18 (symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 3 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: R11.0 (nausea), R11.1 (vomiting) and R11.2 (unspecified).

Don't report R11 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: cyclical vomiting associated with migraine (G43.A-), excessive vomiting in pregnancy (O21.-), hematemesis (K92.0), neonatal hematemesis (P54.0) and 4 more.

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
