About R60.1
R60.1 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for generalized edema. It belongs to category R60 (edema, not elsewhere classified), block R50-R69 (general symptoms and signs) and chapter 18 (symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified). It is billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
Within R60 (edema, not elsewhere classified), R60.1 is specifically for generalized edema. Related codes cover localized edema (R60.0) and edema, unspecified (R60.9).
The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of R60.1, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: nutritional edema (E40-E46).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 947 (Signs and Symptoms with MCC, relative weight 1.261) and DRG 948 (Signs and Symptoms without MCC, relative weight 0.7835), in MDC 23 (Factors Influencing Health Status and Other Contacts with Health Services), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as 782.3 (edema).
