The ICD code K56 is used to code Bowel obstruction Bowel obstruction or intestinal obstruction is a mechanical or purposeful obstruction of the intestines, stopping the conventional transit of the merchandise of digestion. It may happen at any degree distal to the duodenum of the small gut and is a medical emergency.

K31. 84 – is the ICD-10 diagnosis code to report gastroparesis. Also known as delayed gastric emptying, gastroparesis is a chronic condition that affects the motility in the stomach.
ICD-10-CM Code for Gastroparesis K31. 84.
Gastroptosis is the abnormal downward displacement of the stomach. Although this condition is not life threatening is associated with constipation, discomfort, vomiting, dyspepsia, tenesmus, anorexia, nausea and belching.
ICD-10 code R10. 13 for Epigastric pain is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
CPT® Code 78264 in section: Gastric emptying imaging study.
ICD-10 code R68. 81 for Early satiety is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
As you may know, ICD-10 currently lists POTS under “I49. 8 – Other specified cardiac arrhythmias.” ICD-10 notes that this code also “applicable to” Brugada syndrome, coronary sinus rhythm disorder, ectopic rhythm disorder, and nodal rhythm disorder.
Dysmotility is a condition in which muscles of the digestive system become impaired and changes in the speed, strength or coordination in the digestive organs occurs. In the normal small intestine, liquefied food and secretions including digestive enzymes are pushed onwards by waves of muscular contraction.
ICD-10-CM Code for Gastro-esophageal reflux disease without esophagitis K21. 9.
ICD-10 code R10. 9 for Unspecified abdominal pain is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
Duodenal obstruction can be partial or complete, and caused by intrinsic or extrinsic factors. Simple obstruction is associated with diminished or stopped flow of luminal contents. Strangulating obstruction is associated with impaired blood flow to the duodenum in addition to obstructed flow of luminal contents.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM K31.5 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Unspecified intestinal obstruction, unspecified as to partial versus complete obstruction 1 K56.609 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. 2 Short description: Unsp intestnl obst, unsp as to partial versus complete obst 3 The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM K56.609 became effective on October 1, 2020. 4 This is the American ICD-10-CM version of K56.609 - other international versions of ICD-10 K56.609 may differ.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM K56.609 became effective on October 1, 2021.
If the physician documents a large intestine obstruction for example, and does not find a specific cause, then the unspecified code, K56.609, Unspecified intestinal obstruction, unspecified as to partial versus complete obstruction is assigned. There is no condition associated with it so it is unspecified.
In addition, coders may see Excludes1 note at K56 that excludes intestinal obstruction with these conditions.
Mechanical bowel obstruction can be caused by a number of conditions. Some of the most common causes are: 1 Adhesions or scar tissue that forms after surgery 2 Foreign bodies (objects that are swallowed and block the intestines) 3 Gallstones (rare) 4 Hernias 5 Impacted stool 6 Intussusception (telescoping of one segment of bowel into another) 7 Tumors blocking the intestines 8 Volvulus (twisted intestine)
So given the above, if a patient has intestinal obstruction due to adhesions, only code K56.50, intestinal adhesions [bands], unspecified as to partial versus complete obstruction would be assigned, not two codes.
Some of the most common causes are: Adhesions or scar tissue that forms after surgery. Foreign bodies (objects that are swallowed and block the intestines) Gallstones (rare) Hernias. Impacted stool. Intussusception (telescoping of one segment of bowel into another) Tumors blocking the intestines.
When there is a condition in which the bowel does not work correctly, but there is no structural problem causing it, it is called “ileus.”. We are going to talk about mechanical bowel obstruction in this coding tip. Mechanical bowel obstruction can be caused by a number of conditions. Some of the most common causes are:
This is to help relieve abdominal swelling (distention) and vomiting. Volvulus of the large bowel may be treated by passing a tube into the rectum.
K31.1 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of adult hypertrophic pyloric stenosis. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
Billable codes are sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis.
Pyloric stenosis or pylorostenosis is narrowing (stenosis) of the opening from the stomach to the first part of the small intestine known as the duodenum, due to enlargement (hypertrophy) of the muscle surrounding this opening (the pylorus, meaning "gate"), which spasms when the stomach empties. This condition causes severe projectile non-bilious vomiting. It most often occurs in the first few months of life, when it may thus be more specifically labeled as infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis. The thickened pylorus is felt classically as an olive-shaped mass in the middle upper part or right upper quadrant of the infant's abdomen. In pyloric stenosis, it is uncertain whether there is a true congenital anatomic narrowing or whether there is merely a functional hypertrophy of the pyloric sphincter muscle. This condition typically develops in male babies in the first 2 to 6 weeks of life.
