Mr. Robert was admitted to the hospital with a complaint of severe pain on the left side of the abdomen. He has also been experiencing a burning sensation while urinating for a month. The diagnosis was given as the presence of stone in the ureter. Which of these is the appropriate ICD code for this diagnosis?
  1. N20.0
  2. N20.1
  3. N20.2
  4. N20.9
Explanation
Answer: B 

N20.1 is the appropriate code for this case because this code is used to specify the presence of stone or calculus in the ureter. 

Option A is not correct because N20.0 is used to specify the presence of stone in the kidney. 

Option C is not correct because N20.2 is used to specify the presence of stone in both kidney and ureter. 

Option D is not correct because N20.9 is used to specify the presence of urinary stone in an unspecified location.
