About R92.30

R92.30 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for dense breasts, unspecified. It belongs to category R92 (abnormal and inconclusive findings on diagnostic imaging of breast), block R90-R94 (abnormal findings on diagnostic imaging and in function studies, without diagnosis) 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 R92.3, choose R92.30 (Dense breasts, unspecified) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: Mammographic fatty tissue density of breast (R92.31), Mammographic fibroglandular density of breast (R92.32), Mammographic heterogeneous density of breast (R92.33) and Mammographic extreme density of breast (R92.34).

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 600 (Non-Malignant Breast Disorders with CC/MCC, relative weight 0.9975) and DRG 601 (Non-Malignant Breast Disorders without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.6017), in MDC 09 (Diseases and Disorders of the Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast), 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 was added in FY2024, effective October 1, 2023.
