About R60

R60 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for edema, not elsewhere classified. It belongs to block R50-R69 (general symptoms and signs) 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: R60.0 (edema), R60.1 (edema) and R60.9 (unspecified).

Don't report R60 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: angioneurotic edema (T78.3), ascites (R18.-), cerebral edema (G93.6), cerebral edema due to birth injury (P11.0) and 9 more.

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