Other chronic cystitis with hematuria

This code signifies a persistent, long-standing inflammation of the bladder that is not classified as interstitial cystitis or radiation cystitis, and is specifically accompanied by the presence of blood in the urine. It indicates a chronic bladder condition with hematuria as a presenting symptom.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates chronic cystitis, excluding interstitial or radiation-induced forms, and explicitly states the presence of hematuria. This is appropriate for patients experiencing recurrent or persistent bladder inflammation with blood in the urine, where the underlying cause is not specified as interstitial or radiation-related.

• Ensure documentation specifies "chronic" and "other" forms of cystitis, differentiating it from acute or interstitial cystitis.
• Verify that hematuria is explicitly documented as a co-occurring symptom or finding.
• Do not use this code if the documentation points to interstitial cystitis (N30.1-) or radiation cystitis (N30.4-).
