Hello coders,
using the AAPC code converter tool, inputting ICD-9-cm code 788.1 (dysuria) (painful urination) (strangury) the output of ICD-10-CM codes R30.0 Dysuria & R30.9 Painful micturition unspecified.
I checked a medical dictionary and verified all alphabetic Index terms and wonder what the difference in the two codes are? I would be grateful for any clarification, as I am not understanding when the code R30.9 would be used.
