R93.422 (Abnormal radiologic findings on diagnostic imaging of left kidney) compared with R93.429 (Abnormal radiologic findings on diagnostic imaging of unspecified kidney), from the official CMS tabular data. R93.422 and R93.429 code the same condition on opposite sides.
Same condition; these differ only in which side is documented.
These codes share a category and title and differ only in the side affected. The documentation decides which applies, and a bilateral code is reported only where the code set provides one.
