R57 — Shock, not elsewhere classified
Is R57 billable?
No — R57 is a non-billable header code. R57 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 4 billable codes beneath R57.

- anaphylactic shock due to adverse effect of correct drug or medicament properly administered (T88.6)
- anaphylactic shock due to serum (T80.5-)
