The following 72,752 ICD-10-CM codes are billable/specific and can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes as there are no codes with a greater level of specificity under each code. Displaying codes 1-100 of 72,752: A00.0 Cholera due to Vibrio cholerae 01, biovar cholerae. A00.1 Cholera due to Vibrio cholerae 01, biovar eltor. A00.9 Cholera, unspecified.
The new codes are for describing the infusion of tixagevimab and cilgavimab monoclonal antibody (code XW023X7), and the infusion of other new technology monoclonal antibody (code XW023Y7).
How is bowel obstruction coded in ICD-10-CM?Obstruction:K56.69 Other intestinal obstruction.In addition, certain conditions will include a “with” notation and code within the index. See Adhesions entry below from the index:with intestinal obstruction K56.50.
K56. 600 - Partial intestinal obstruction, unspecified as to cause. ICD-10-CM.
560.9ICD-9-CM Diagnosis Code 560.9 : Unspecified intestinal obstruction.
Small bowel obstruction is a partial or complete blockage of the small intestine, which is a part of the digestive system. Small bowel obstruction can be caused by many things, including adhesions, hernia and inflammatory bowel disorders.
It makes up part of the long pathway that food takes through your body, called the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. When food leaves your stomach, it enters the small intestine, also called the small bowel. The small bowel connects to the large bowel, also called the large intestine or colon.
An intestinal obstruction occurs when your small or large intestine is blocked. The blockage can be partial or total, and it prevents passage of fluids and digested food. If intestinal obstruction happens, things will build up behind the site of the blockage.
ICD-10 code: K57. 92 Diverticulitis of intestine, part unspecified, without perforation, abscess or bleeding.
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 .
ICD-10-PCS 0DJW0ZZ converts approximately to: 2015 ICD-9-CM Procedure 54.11 Exploratory laparotomy.
In small bowel obstruction, the pain tends to be colicky (cramping and intermittent) in nature, with spasms lasting a few minutes. The pain tends to be central and mid-abdominal. Vomiting may occur before constipation. In large bowel obstruction, the pain is felt lower in the abdomen and the spasms last longer.
There are two types of small bowel obstruction:functional — there is no physical blockage, however, the bowels are not moving food through the digestive tract.mechanical — there is a blockage preventing the movement of food.
Acute small bowel obstruction (SBO) is an ever increasing clinical problem.
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:
The term “postoperative’ can be misleading. A query may be necessary. Take Aways. Coders must be aware of the index entries for intestinal obstruction and follow the index. For conditions in the index, look for “with obstruction” underneath the main entry or subterm entries.
In the past, bowel obstruction was almost always coded as a diagnosis as the physician usually addressed the condition and did work up as to the cause, many times addressing the cause also. However that has changed as the coder will see in this coding tip.
Lastly, if intestinal obstruction is a complication of surgery, code K91.3-, may be warranted. Coders must validate that this is truly intestinal obstruction as a complication of surgery, and not just occurring after surgery due to another cause. The term “postoperative’ can be misleading. A query may be necessary.
Bowel obstruction or intestinal obstruction is a mechanical or functional obstruction of the intestines, preventing the normal transit of the products of digestion. It can occur at any level distal to the duodenum of the small intestine and is a medical emergency.

This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code K56.60 and a single ICD9 code, 560.9 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.

Bowel obstruction or intestinal obstruction is a mechanical or functional obstruction of the intestines, preventing the normal transit of the products of digestion. It can occur at any level distal to the duodenum of the small intestine and is a medical emergency. The condition is often treated conservatively over a period of 2–5 days with the patient's progress regularly monitored by an assigned physician. Surgical procedures are performed on occasion however, in life-threatening cases, such as when the root cause is a fully lodged foreign object or malignant tumor.
The word “with” should be interpreted to mean “associated with” or “due to” when it appears in a code title, the Alphabetic Index, or an instructional note in the Tabular List. The classification presumes a causal relationship between the two conditions linked by these terms in the Alphabetic Index or Tabular List.
According to the CDC, if two ICD-10-CM diagnoses are not related to each other, but they exist at the same time, they may both be reported together despite an Excludes1 note.
It is a disruption of the normal propulsive ability of the GI tract caused by the failure of peristalsis (when intestines move in a wave like motion moving forward digested food). An ileus can lead to an obstruction in the bowel which means that no food material, gas or liquids can get through.
