What does the Tabular List say about N39.0?

The instructional notes that govern N39.0, including those it inherits from its category and chapter. An Excludes1 note means the two codes are never reported together.

Excludes1 — never code together

The conditions below can never be reported together with N39.0 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

  • candidiasis of urinary tract (B37.4-)
  • neonatal urinary tract infection (P39.3)
  • pyuria (R82.81)
  • urinary tract infection of specified site, such as:
  • cystitis (N30.-)
  • pyonephrosis (N13.6)
  • urethritis (N34.-)

Use additional code

Report an additional code alongside N39.0 to fully describe the condition. N39.0 is sequenced first.

  • code (B95-B97), to identify infectious agent.

Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 14

The conditions below are not part of N39.0, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, N39.0 and the excluded code may both be reported.

  • certain conditions originating in the perinatal period (P04-P96)
  • certain infectious and parasitic diseases (A00-B99)
  • complications of pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (O00-O9A)
  • congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities (Q00-Q99)
  • endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases (E00-E88)
  • injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes (S00-T88)
  • neoplasms (C00-D49)
  • symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified (R00-R94)

Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from N30-N39

The conditions below are not part of N39.0, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, N39.0 and the excluded code may both be reported.

  • urinary infection (complicating):
  • abortion or ectopic or molar pregnancy (O00-O07, O08.8)
  • pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (O23.-, O75.3, O86.2-)

Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from N39

The conditions below are not part of N39.0, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, N39.0 and the excluded code may both be reported.

  • hematuria NOS (R31.-)
  • recurrent or persistent hematuria (N02.-)
  • recurrent or persistent hematuria with specified morphological lesion (N02.-)
  • proteinuria NOS (R80.-)
