Other lower urinary tract calculus

This code represents the presence of a calculus (stone) within the lower urinary tract, specifically excluding the kidney and ureter. This includes stones found in the bladder, urethra, or prostate. These calculi can cause symptoms such as dysuria, hematuria, and urinary obstruction.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates a stone located in the bladder, urethra, or prostate. This applies to both symptomatic and incidentally discovered calculi. Supporting documentation would include imaging reports (e.g., ultrasound, CT scan) or cystoscopy findings confirming the stone's location.

• Do not use for renal or ureteral calculi; these have specific codes.
• Ensure the documentation specifies the lower urinary tract location to differentiate from upper tract stones.
• Sequence this code as a primary diagnosis when the calculus is the reason for the encounter, or as a secondary diagnosis if it's an associated condition.
