455.7 - Unspecified thrombosed hemorrhoids. ICD-10-CM.
External hemorrhoids are when one or more tender bumps form beneath the skin surrounding your anus. These are dilated blood vessels that have become so enlarged that they protrude. Blood may clot, or thrombose, inside the protruding blood vessel. This can form a hard lump and cause considerable pain in some cases.
What ICD-10-CM code is reported for internal hemorrhoids? Rationale: Look in the ICD-10-CM Alphabetic Index for Hemorrhoids (bleeding) (without mention of degree)/internal (without mention of degree) which refers you to K64. 8.
Hemorrhoids can be on the inside of the anal passage or form on the outside of the anus. Hemorrhoids on the inside are called internal hemorrhoids, and those on the outside are called external hemorrhoids. Thrombosed hemorrhoids occur when either an internal or external hemorrhoid fills with blood clots.
Hemorrhoids can be classified according to how severe they are: Grade 1: Slightly enlarged hemorrhoids that can't be seen from outside the anus. Grade 2: Larger hemorrhoids that sometimes come out of the anus, for example while passing stool or – less commonly – during other physical activities.
Grade I hemorrhoids prolapse beyond the dentate line upon straining. Grade II hemorrhoids prolapse through the anus upon straining, but spontaneously reduce, while grade III hemorrhoids prolapse through the anus upon straining and can only be reduced manually.
A first-degree internal hemorrhoid bulges into the anal canal during bowel movements. A second-degree internal hemorrhoid bulges from the anus during bowel movements, then goes back inside by itself. A third-degree hemorrhoid bulges from the anus during bowel movements and must be pushed back in with a finger.

CPT® Code 46255 in section: Hemorrhoidectomy, internal and external, single column/group.
Almost all thrombosed hemorrhoids are external, but thrombosis of internal hemorrhoids is also possible.
Hemorrhoids can develop inside the rectum (internal hemorrhoids) or under the skin around the anus (external hemorrhoids). Nearly three out of four adults will have hemorrhoids from time to time. Hemorrhoids have a number of causes, but often the cause is unknown.
External hemorrhoids are on the outside around the anus, while internal hemorrhoids are inside the anal canal. But of course there's a longer explanation. External hemorrhoids are more obvious because they often present as swollen blood vessels or hard lumps that are painful or itchy.
