2025 ICD-10-CM code N30.10
Interstitial cystitis (chronic) without hematuria.
Medical necessity for services related to interstitial cystitis is established by the presence of chronic bladder pain and discomfort, urinary urgency, and frequency, and exclusion of other identifiable causes.The documentation should clearly demonstrate the impact of the condition on the patient's quality of life and justify the chosen treatment approach.
Diagnosis and management of interstitial cystitis falls under the purview of urologists, gynecologists, and primary care physicians. They are responsible for evaluating symptoms, ordering appropriate tests to rule out other conditions, and developing a treatment plan to manage the chronic pain and discomfort associated with interstitial cystitis.

In simple words: This code refers to a chronic bladder condition called interstitial cystitis, which causes pain and discomfort. It specifies that there's no blood in the urine.
Interstitial cystitis is a chronic condition characterized by bladder pain and discomfort.This code specifies that there is no hematuria (blood in the urine) present.
Example 1: A 35-year-old female presents with chronic pelvic pain, urinary urgency, and frequency, but no blood in her urine. After ruling out other potential causes, she is diagnosed with interstitial cystitis without hematuria (N30.10)., A 50-year-old male experiences persistent bladder discomfort and a frequent urge to urinate, but urinalysis shows no blood.Cystoscopy and other tests confirm interstitial cystitis without hematuria (N30.10)., A patient with a history of chronic pelvic pain has previously been treated for urinary tract infections. However, current symptoms persist despite negative urine cultures, and the absence of hematuria leads to a diagnosis of interstitial cystitis (N30.10).
Documentation for N30.10 should include detailed patient history, including the nature and duration of symptoms (pain, pressure, frequency, urgency), physical exam findings, urinalysis results ruling out infection and hematuria, and results of any additional diagnostic tests like cystoscopy or bladder biopsies.
