I'm trying to bill 58558 hysteroscopy biopsy for ICD10 of abnl findings ultrasound pelvis. We can't use R93.4 (abnl findings diagnostic imaging urinary organs) anymore cause it was deleted as billable code as of 10/1/17:mad::mad: Does anyone know if we can bill R93.5 now with 58558? Or what R code we can use? thanks!!:eek::eek: -Lee
 
R93.4 is only deleted in the sense that it is now truncated - you need to go to the 5th (or even 6th) digit. It depends where the abnormal findings are:
R93.41 - for renal pelvis, ureter, or bladder
R93.421 - for right kidney
R93.422 - for left kidney
R93.429 - for unspecified kidney
R93.49 - for other urinary organs
R93.5 is for "other abdominal regions, including retroperitoneum"
R93.8 is for "other specified body structures"
I don't think you would have trouble getting 58558 paid for any of the R93.4_ codes, or R93.5, or R93.8. You should use the code based on where the abnormal ultrasound finding are exactly located.
