Other specified urinary incontinence

This code represents urinary incontinence that does not fit the criteria for stress, urge, reflex, overflow, or mixed incontinence. It encompasses various less common or atypical forms of involuntary urine leakage. This diagnosis indicates that the specific type of incontinence has been identified but falls outside the more common classifications.

Use this code when documentation clearly specifies a type of urinary incontinence other than stress, urge, reflex, overflow, or mixed. Examples include giggle incontinence, nocturnal enuresis in adults, or continuous leakage not attributable to other defined types. The physician's notes should explicitly state the specific "other" type of incontinence.

• Do not use this code for unspecified urinary incontinence; use N39.3 for that scenario.
• Always look for documentation of the specific type of "other" incontinence to support this code.
• Consider sequencing with underlying conditions if the incontinence is secondary to another disease process.
