R39.14Feeling of incomplete bladder emptying

R39.14 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for Feeling of incomplete bladder emptying. It belongs to category R39 (other and unspecified symptoms and signs involving the genitourinary system), block R30-R39 (symptoms and signs involving the genitourinary system) and chapter 18 (symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified). It is billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

Within R39.1 (other difficulties with micturition), R39.14 is specifically for Feeling of incomplete bladder emptying. Related codes cover hesitancy of micturition (R39.11), poor urinary stream (R39.12), splitting of urinary stream (R39.13), urgency of urination (R39.15), Straining to void (R39.16) and other difficulties with micturition (R39.19).

It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.

In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 695 (Kidney and Urinary Tract Signs and Symptoms with MCC, relative weight 1.1139), DRG 696 (Kidney and Urinary Tract Signs and Symptoms without MCC, relative weight 0.6679), DRG 791 (Prematurity with Major Problems, relative weight 4.1075) and DRG 793 (Full Term Neonate with Major Problems, relative weight 4.2195), in MDC 11 (Diseases and Disorders of the Kidney and Urinary Tract) and MDC 15 (Newborns and Other Neonates with Conditions Originating in the Perinatal Period), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.

Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as 788.21 (incomplete bladder emptying).
