What This Code Means

R92.8 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other abnormal and inconclusive findings on diagnostic imaging of breast. A mammogram or other breast imaging study shows abnormal findings that don't fit into other specific categories or are unclear and need further evaluation. R92.8 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified (r00-r99), within the section covering abnormal findings on diagnostic imaging and in function studies, without diagnosis (r90-r94).

R92.8 is a billable ICD-10-CM code but does not map to a payment HCC under the CMS-HCC V28, V24, ESRD, or RxHCC risk adjustment models. It can be reported on Medicare Advantage encounter data submissions but it does not contribute to a beneficiary's RAF score and therefore does not affect risk-adjusted payments to the plan.

Use this code when findings are inconclusive or don't match other R92 codes.

HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for R92.8 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.

Coding Tips
