ICD Code N30.00

ICD code N30.00 is used to classify a medical diagnosis of acute cystitis without hematuria. This means the patient has an inflammation of the bladder, commonly known as a urinary tract infection (UTI), but it is not accompanied by blood in the urine. This code is utilized by healthcare providers to accurately document and communicate this specific condition for billing, treatment, and statistical purposes.

1. Sudden Onset of Symptoms: The patient experiences a rapid development of urinary symptoms, indicating an acute condition rather than a chronic or recurrent one.

2. Dysuria: The patient reports painful or difficult urination, which is a common symptom associated with acute cystitis.

3. Increased Urinary Frequency: The patient experiences a frequent need to urinate, often with only small amounts of urine being passed each time.

4. Urgency: The patient feels a strong, immediate need to urinate, which can be difficult to control.

5. Suprapubic Pain or Discomfort: The patient reports pain or discomfort in the lower abdomen, specifically in the area above the pubic bone.

6. Absence of Hematuria: The patient does not exhibit blood in the urine, which differentiates this condition from other types of cystitis that may present with hematuria.

7. Negative Urine Culture for Other Pathogens: Laboratory tests confirm the absence of other infections or pathogens that could cause similar symptoms, supporting the diagnosis of acute cystitis.

8. No Signs of Systemic Infection: The patient does not exhibit fever, chills, or other systemic symptoms that might indicate a more severe infection such as pyelonephritis.

9. Exclusion of Other Urological Conditions: Other potential causes of the symptoms, such as urinary stones or interstitial cystitis, have been ruled out through appropriate diagnostic evaluations.

2. 99211-99215: Office or other outpatient visit for the evaluation and management of an established patient.

3. 87086: Urine culture, bacterial; quantitative, colony count where performed.

4. 87088: Urine culture, bacterial; with isolation and presumptive identification of isolates.

5. 81001: Urinalysis, by dipstick or tablet reagent for bilirubin, glucose, hemoglobin, ketones, leukocytes, nitrite, pH, protein, specific gravity, urobilinogen, any number of these constituents; automated, with microscopy.

6. 81002: Urinalysis, by dipstick or tablet reagent for bilirubin, glucose, hemoglobin, ketones, leukocytes, nitrite, pH, protein, specific gravity, urobilinogen, any number of these constituents; non-automated, without microscopy.

7. 81003: Urinalysis, by dipstick or tablet reagent for bilirubin, glucose, hemoglobin, ketones, leukocytes, nitrite, pH, protein, specific gravity, urobilinogen, any number of these constituents; automated, without microscopy.

These CPT codes are commonly used in the diagnosis and management of conditions associated with ICD code N30.00. It's important for healthcare providers to select the appropriate CPT codes based on the specific services rendered during the patient encounter.
