Double urinary meatus

This diagnosis code signifies a congenital anomaly where an individual presents with two separate urethral openings. This condition can occur in males or females and may involve two distinct urethras or a single urethra with two external orifices.

Assign this code when documentation clearly indicates the presence of a double urinary meatus. This typically arises from a congenital malformation of the genitourinary tract. Supporting documentation would include physician notes detailing the physical examination findings or imaging reports confirming the anatomical anomaly.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "double" or "duplicated" meatus, not just a wide or abnormal single meatus.
• Do not confuse this with epispadias or hypospadias, which involve a single meatus in an abnormal location.
• Consider sequencing this code as a primary diagnosis if it is the reason for the encounter, or as a secondary diagnosis if it is an incidental finding or contributing factor to another condition.
