N39.4Other specified urinary incontinence

Not billable

Is N39.4 billable?

No — N39.4 is a non-billable header code. N39.4 groups more specific codes and cannot be submitted on a claim. A valid ICD-10-CM code must be reported at the highest level of specificity available in its branch. Select one of the 10 billable codes beneath N39.4.

Excludes1 — never code together

The conditions below can never be reported together with N39.4 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

  • enuresis NOS (R32)
  • functional urinary incontinence (R39.81)
  • urinary incontinence associated with cognitive impairment (R39.81)
  • urinary incontinence NOS (R32)
  • urinary incontinence of nonorganic origin (F98.0)

Code also

Two codes may be needed to describe the condition fully. Whether N39.4 is sequenced first depends on the reason for the encounter.

  • any associated overactive bladder (N32.81)

Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 14

  • certain infectious and parasitic diseases (A00-B99)
  • complications of pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (O00-O9A)
