About R86

R86 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for abnormal findings in specimens from male genital organs. It belongs to block R83-R89 (abnormal findings on examination of other body fluids, substances and tissues, without diagnosis) 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 10 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: R86.0 (organs), R86.1 (organs), R86.2 (organs), R86.3 (organs), R86.4 (organs), R86.5 (organs), R86.6 (organs), R86.7 (organs) and 2 more.

Don't report R86 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: azoospermia (N46.0-) and oligospermia (N46.1-).

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