How to code Dysuria

R30.0 is dysuria, the code for burning or painful urination. R30.9 is painful micturition, unspecified, and R30.1 is vesical tenesmus (a constant urge to void with straining). Frequency R35.0, urgency R39.15, and hematuria R31.9 are coded separately when also present.

Do not report R30.0 once a cause is confirmed. A urinary tract infection is N39.0, acute cystitis without hematuria is N30.00, and nonspecific urethritis is N34.1. When dysuria is the reason for the visit and testing is pending, R30.0 is the correct first-listed code.
