ICD Code N30.01

ICD code N30.01 is a medical classification used to denote a diagnosis of acute cystitis with hematuria. This code specifies a condition where there is inflammation of the bladder (cystitis) that occurs suddenly (acute) and is accompanied by the presence of blood in the urine (hematuria). This code is used by healthcare providers to accurately document and communicate this specific diagnosis for billing, treatment, and statistical purposes.

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

2. Painful Urination (Dysuria): The patient reports experiencing pain or a burning sensation during urination, which is a common symptom of cystitis.

3. Increased Urinary Frequency: The patient has an increased urge to urinate more frequently than usual, often with only small amounts of urine being passed.

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

5. Lower Abdominal Pain or Discomfort: The patient may experience pain or discomfort in the lower abdomen or pelvic area.

6. Presence of Hematuria: The patient has visible blood in the urine, or a urinalysis confirms the presence of red blood cells, indicating hematuria.

7. Urine Analysis Findings: Laboratory tests show evidence of infection, such as the presence of white blood cells, bacteria, or nitrites in the urine.

8. Absence of Fever or Flank Pain: The patient does not exhibit systemic symptoms such as fever or flank pain, which could suggest a more severe infection like pyelonephritis.

9. Exclusion of Other Conditions: Other potential causes of the symptoms, such as sexually transmitted infections or interstitial cystitis, have been ruled out through appropriate testing and evaluation.

For the ICD code N30.01 (Acute cystitis with hematuria), the relevant CPT codes that may be applicable for treatment and diagnostic procedures include:

1. CPT 51702 - Insertion of temporary indwelling bladder catheter; simple (e.g., Foley).

2. CPT 51798 - Measurement of post-voiding residual urine and/or bladder capacity by ultrasound, non-imaging.

3. CPT 52000 - Cystourethroscopy (separate procedure).

4. CPT 87086 - Urine culture, bacterial; quantitative, colony count.

5. CPT 87088 - Urine culture, bacterial; with isolation and presumptive identification of isolates.

6. CPT 81001 - Urinalysis, by dip stick or tablet reagent for bilirubin, glucose, hemoglobin, ketones, leukocytes, nitrite, pH, protein, specific gravity, urobilinogen, any number of these constituents; automated, with microscopy.

7. CPT 81003 - Urinalysis, by dip stick 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 for procedures and tests that may be performed in the diagnosis and management of acute cystitis with hematuria. It is important for healthcare providers to select the appropriate CPT codes based on the specific services rendered to ensure accurate billing and reimbursement.
